Water vapor imagery

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010123

Satellite images that depict the distribution and movement of water vapor in the middle and upper troposphere. These images are generated by detecting infrared radiation emitted by water vapor molecules. They are invaluable for tracking atmospheric moisture, identifying jet streams, and forecasting the development of weather systems.
