Examine the visible (VIS--left) and infrared (IR -- right) satellite images below.
The images were both taken at 0145Z(9:45 pm EDT)
why are the clouds over Arkansas and Louisiana so easy to see on the IR but not
the VIS image?
The clouds are very close to the ground and therefore nearly the same temperature
as the ground. Thus they do not appear on the VIS image
The time is well after sunset so clouds cannot be seen on the VIS image
The Clouds are very high but thin. Thus they appear bright white on the IR image
but do not appear on the VIS image
The clouds in this case are above the VIS satellite, so the sensors cannot detect the
clouds - ANSWER The time is well after sunset so clouds cannot be seen on the
VIS image
