Popis: The standard technique of deducing the heights of cloud tops from the data acquired by meteorological satellites in geosynchronous orbit is to use radiation emitted in the thermal infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Cloud heights can also be deduced from the radiance in the visible region by using the overlapped images of two adjacent geosynchronous satellites to reconstruct a three-dimensional image.
