The Day Microphysics RGB
Information received from the three channels that contribute to the RGB combination
| VIS 0.8 (visible channel 02) | Surface reflectance (sand, snow), Cloud albedo |
| MIR 3.9 (mixed channel, but only solar part is included) | Detection of ice clouds by the differences in particle size and reflectance properties between water and ice clouds, Fire detection |
| IR 10.8 (IR window channel) | Temperature of surface/cloud top temperatures |
Resulting colors for typical features
| Red | Thick precipitating cloud |
| Black brown | Cirrus with thick crystals |
| Green | Small ice crystals (often lee cloud) |
| Pink | Snow and ice |
Typical application areas
- Convection
- Fog and low cloud
- Fire (contribution from channel 04)
