121
Q

when is the spot less well defined

A

With stronger winds, the sea surface is rough, the reflection is more diffuse, and the spot is less well defined.

122
Q

Note that the dust and sun glint are not discernible on the

A

infrared image.

123
Q

snow and ice make ………………………….. difficult

A

cloud discrimination

124
Q

In the visibleimage, snow and ice can have

A

a reflectivity that is close to that of a cloud

125
Q

In the visibleimage, snow and ice can have a reflectivity that is close to that of a cloud, whereas in theinfrared

A

the surface is close to that of a low cloud

126
Q

The primary difference between cloud and snow

A

snow does not move

127
Q

This simple fact is the basis for distinguishing snow from cloud by using

A

successive images to detect clouds by their movement across a snow field

128
Q

Snow and ice can sometimes be identified by

A

the fact that they conform to geographic features.

129
Q

……………………….are often free of snow

A

valleys, rivers and lakes

130
Q

Valleys, rivers, and lakes are often free of snow, whereas …………………………….. are covered

A

sounding land surfaces

131
Q

Valleys, rivers, and lakes are often free of snow, whereas surrounding land surfaces are covered, making it easier to

A

distinguish between clouds and snow.

132
Q

Sandy surfaces have a ………………………………than soil and vegetation in the ………………… channel

A

higher reflectiity

visible

133
Q

Some sandy regions, such as ………………………………………….. have a reflectivity that is close to ………………………………..

A

the white sands in New Mexico

snow and clouds

134
Q

In the infrared, the sandy surface appears

A

cooler at night and warmer during the day than a corresponding soil or vegetation surface.

135
Q

Agricultural land exhibits

A

variable reflectivity and emittance during different seasons of the year.

136
Q

When the fields are freshly plowed they normally appear

A

darker than a few days later when the ground is dry.

137
Q

When the fields are freshly plowed they normally appear darker than a few days later when the ground is dry.
• The field is normally even darker after

A

crops have grown to cover the bare ground.
