Enhancement type - MSA-precip

NOAA earth photo


Description of enhancement MSA-precip:

Multispectral analysis. Uses a NOAA channel 2-4 image and determines which regions are most likely to be cloud, land, or sea based on an analysis of the two images. Produces a vivid false-coloured image as a result. There are several options which affect colouring of these images in Image and Movie Options... under the Options menu. This enhancement does not use a palette nor is it temperature normalised.
High cold cloud tops are coloured the same as the NO enhancement to give an approximate indication of the probability and intensity of precipitation.
