| Weather radar
maps use false color. That's why weather reporters almost always
include a rainbow like "scale" on the screen when they show the weather
map. This scale starts with a darker color representing low levels
of activity. As activity increases, brighter colors are used.
From space, weather does not look like the rainbow colors of the map.
Clouds appear white from above, where weather satellites take their pictures.
Weather doesn't look like the map from underneath, either. When you
are in a storm and clouds cover the sky, or when rain is falling, the clouds
don't look any brighter than the other clouds. |
