MSG RGB and difference channels, and their use for different meteorological situations
- RGB Basics: what is RGB, how we can create colours by combining light, how these methods can be applied in satellite images.
- Constructing RGB product: adjusting the temperature/reflectance ranges, difference images, applying these for a meteorological product.
- Applications: two examples showing the use of RGB products in practice.
Introduction
Welcome to learn about the basics of how to apply RGB techniques in satellite images and forecasting.
RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. These three colours of light can be combined to produce any other colour.
RGB colours are very popular in digital image processing, but what is their use in satellite image interpretation?
In this module a short introduction to the techniques of using RGB in satellite image production is given. The module consists of three main parts:
