EUMeTrain: VERTICAL CROSS SECTIONS

Recognition exercise

Here is an example of a frontal cloud system. It has been cut along 5 different lines. Can you identify which of the cross sections of the isentropes below is connected to the cross-section lines marked on the satellite image?

Click on the cross_section to enlarge it and then choose the correct letter!

HINT: Look also at the IR pixel values (orange line in the cross section). They can give you an idea what a cloud band should look like, which could help you decide about the right answer!
