These three images were gathered on Friday October 20, 2000, in the (local) morning
time. They appear to show some sort of image enhancement technique, but
they are not so processed. It seems that some meteorological phenomenon is
responsible. If you can help, I'd be happy to publish your explanation
here... Note that the image is shown from three satellites - the IR
channel of NOAA-12, and the visible channels of Meteor 2-21 and Resurs O1-N4.
On the visible channels you can clearly identify the snow on
the Norwegian mountains, and Mark Conner has suggested that fog may be
responsible for the river valley areas. He also comments: "There is
also a convergence line of clouds just off the coast, possibly caused by colder
air draining off the land over the warmer water." These also show up
clearly in the infra-red image.
