Relationship between infrared cloud and satellite cloud

Infrared cloud image and satellite cloud image are commonly used tools for monitoring and forecasting weather, and they have a certain relationship.

Infrared cloud image is an image that shows clouds and meteorological phenomena by measuring infrared radiation on the earth's surface. Infrared radiation is converted from clouds, water vapor in the atmosphere and heat energy reflected from the ground. Infrared cloud images can reflect the temperature distribution and shape of clouds, and infer the properties of clouds according to their warmth and coldness, such as high clouds, middle clouds, low clouds and convective clouds. It can provide real-time observation and help to predict weather changes and study atmospheric movement.

Satellite cloud picture is a cloud picture observed by satellite, which is used to monitor and study clouds and meteorological phenomena on the earth. Satellite cloud images are usually generated by microwave radiation and visible light radiation, and contain information such as cloud distribution, type, thickness and height. Satellite cloud images can provide a wide range of observations, including cloud conditions in different regions, seasons and time zones.

Infrared and satellite images are related to weather monitoring. The infrared cloud image measures the temperature of the cloud through infrared radiation, provides the heat energy information of the cloud, and can accurately distinguish the type and height of the cloud. Satellite cloud pictures provide more comprehensive cloud information through the cloud pictures observed by satellites, which can help meteorologists to predict and analyze the weather.

To sum up, infrared cloud images and satellite cloud images are complementary tools, and they both play an important role in weather monitoring and forecasting.
