Example of the Cloud Layers/Height product as generated by the ABI Cloud Layer/Height algorithm using Meteosat-8/SEVIRI data on 07 January 2006 at 1200 UTC.
Cloud Layers/Height
The Cloud Layers product is derived from the retrieved Cloud Top Pressure product. Based on the value of the retrieved cloud-top pressure, each pixel is determined to contain either a high (above 440 hPa), middle (440 – 680 hPa), or low level (below 680 hPa) cloud. Forecasters will be able to use this information to determine areas of cloud growth and likelihood of precipitation. + Product ATBD
