Cloud Tops
Infrared satellite imagery measures the temperature of the closest reflecting surface
as observed from the satellite. Clouds appear white in the image. The brightness of
the cloud depends on the temperature of the cloud. Higher clouds, which are colder,
appear bright white. Lower clouds, which are warmer, appear gray.
Cloud Top Overlay
To view cloud tops on all the chart components:
1. Click the Chart Setup tab.
2. Click Weather Options.
3. Select the Cloud Tops check box.
4. Click on a page tab you wish to view weather.
5. Click the Wx button to display and hide weather.
Cloud tops appears over all the enroute chart views when the view is at
approximately 600 nautical miles per square inch. It also appears over any selected
geo-referenced terminal chart displayed in the Terminal page. The cloud tops are
more opaque the more you are zoomed out on the enroute chart. As you zoom in,
the returns become more transparent allowing you to view other navigational
information easily. On some tablet devices, the degree of contrast will vary, making
the colors look more or less intense as the translucency of the fill areas changes.
