Images - Different Wavelengths

This is a channel 4 infrared wavelength SouthWest US image from GOES-11.
Some software combines the visible image with the infrared wavelength as an artifical height component to create a 3D image.  The higher the clouds, the cooler they are and thus the lighter they are in infrared.
