Difference between satellite cloud picture and meteorological cloud picture

1, observation scale, satellite cloud pictures are mainly used to observe and analyze the distribution of large-scale clouds, which can cover a larger area, such as the whole country or region, while meteorological cloud pictures show the characteristics and attributes of clouds in more detail and are used to observe the weather changes in a smaller area, such as a city or a specific place.

2. Resolution: The resolution of satellite cloud images is low, which can't show the details and characteristics of clouds. It mainly relies on infrared or visible images taken by satellite sensors to show the distribution of clouds, while meteorological cloud images have high resolution and can show details such as the shape, height and thickness of clouds.
