4 km Fog/Reflectivity Products -

Both of these products are created from the thermal infrared and the shortwave infrared channels. With the fog product, fog and other liquid water clouds can be tracked during the night. The reflectivity product, used during daylight hours, has use in the determination of low clouds over snow fields, the identification of cloud phase, and fire detection. Both channels may be used in conjunction with the longwave infrared channel in the determination of supercooled liquid water clouds.
