Combination of microwave and infrared measurements from satellites yields data from which thicknesses and temperature of clouds inferred. Microwave radiation measured by satellite used to determine thickness of cloud and difference between cloud-top temperature and mean temperature of interior. Technique extends capability of previously established method in which infrared radiation returned to satellite by cloud used to determine temperature and altitude of cloud top and fractional area of Earth covered by cloud.
