MOS-derived true colour image, cloudmask and cloud top pressure in the Chilbolton area
27/11/98

Statistics given are for a bounding box ranging from (51.13N,-1.453E) to (51.17N,-1.413E), centred on (51.15N,-1.433E). This typically encompasses ~45 pixels around Chilbolton in MOS scenes. Pixel with a cloudmask value lower than 0.85 are ignored.
Cloud top pressure is transformed to cloud top height using the standard midlatitude summer atmosphere.
