Comparison between Satellite Water Vapour Observations and Atmospheric Models’ Predictions of the Upper Tropospheric Thermal Radiation

Figure 4

Differences between MODIS observed and NCEP/DOE simulated BT6.7 in K (1st column) then NICAM (2nd column), and the cloud types (3rd column) corresponding (1 = convective clouds, 2 = middle clouds, 3 = low clouds, 4 = thin cirrus clouds and 5 = clear sky).
