  18. SUMMARY

  19. Monitoring of Hurricanes & Tropical Cyclones • IR10.8 to get info on cloud top temperature/height • HRVIS to see detailed structures • NIR1.6 and IR3.9 (solar component) to get information on phase and particle size • IR3.9 - IR10.8 to find areas with most intense development/precipitation • RGB 01/03/09 (Day) or RGB 01/04/09 (Day) and RGB 10-09/09-04/09 (Night) to monitor cloud types and convective development • RGB 05-06/04-09/03-01 to monitor convective development
