The Natural Color RGB
Information received from the three channels that contribute to the RGB combination
| NIR IR | Optical thickness and particle phase and size - information about water droplets as well as small and large ice droplets |
| VIS 02 | Optical thickness and differences in vegetation - "greenness" of vegetation |
| VIS 01 | Optical thickness: albedo - information about cloud thickness |
Resulting colors for typical features
| Gray | Thick water clouds |
| Cyan | Ice clouds, snow |
| Green | Vegetation |
| Red | vegetation free land, desert |
| Black | Ocean |
Typical application areas
- First impression of the large scale weather
