Color Enhanced



What do you look for in color enhanced imagery?

Usually you look for high clouds or areas with a
large amount of water vapor. In an infrared (IR)
image cold clouds are high clouds, so the colors
typically highlight the colder regions. In a water vapor
image, white areas indicate moisture and dark areas
indicate little or no moisture, so the colors
typically highlight areas with large amounts of moisture.
