Satellite Product Comparisons

Next, you’ll learn to use satellite imagery and products to analyse cloud heights and thicknesses, and compare land and ocean features. But first, let’s make sure that you know which products to use for different situations. Note: From here on out, we’ll refer to images and products simply as “products.”

Here, you will view all products for a different case and answer a series of questions. You can select pairs of products to view and compare - notice which features you can and cannot see on each product. Then, scroll below the product area and answer the questions. Use the “Arrow” buttons to move between questions. After you have finished all of the questions, use the “Next” button to proceed to the next section.

Instructions: Select a product for each set of radio buttons. The first product will display, with a slider over it. Move the slider to see the second image. To change one or both images, select a different product for each radio button.

Be sure that you have answered all of the questions before proceeding to the next section where we will talk more specifically about how to differentiate cloud heights and thicknesses, dust, and land cover vs. water features.
