Description

The Cloud and Moisture Imagery products are all at 2km resolution. Bands 1-6 are reflective. The dimensionless "reflectance factor" quantity is normalized by the solar zenith angle. These bands support the characterization of clouds, vegetation, snow/ice, and aerosols. Bands 7-16 are emissive. The brightness temperature at the Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) is measured in Kelvin. These bands support the characterization of the surface, clouds, water vapor, ozone, volcanic ash, and dust based on emissive properties.
