Examples of interpretation
Three cases are shown with annotations to demonstrate the proper interpretation of different surface and cloud types in Night Microphysics RGB images (Figs. 10 - 12).

Note that thick fog/low level clouds (stratus) appear green in the case of small water droplets or gray with a pinkish tone in the case of large droplets. Thin fog and stratus also appear gray with a pink tone.
