Question 15 13 pts explain why using an infrared image (versus a visible image) of clouds from a satellite would be best for determining if visibility restrictions due to fog or low clouds may exist at an airfield.

Visible is more exact than infrared.

Explanation:

Visible satellite imagery as compared to infrared imagery of clouds has a distinct type of imagery as visible imagery is produced by the sun's rays that reflect the light falling on clouds from the sunlight. Visible imagery shows a higher resolution of clouds. Which is visible to human eyes. As compared to infrared imagery is used to show us the cloud's heat signatures and is not visible to human eyes.  If there exists a visible restriction of fogs at the airfields then tracing the clouds would be done through the visible spectrum of light.  Due to the white color of clouds can be mistakenly predicted as there heights would differ and comparatively low clouds at the ground may not produce the desired results for infrared, also clouds being colder than landmass and setting of the sun can hide the clouds from the infrared satellite. Example of Cirrus clouds which tend to be thin and show up white on infrared.

Aeolian processes,  pertain to  wind  activity in the study of  geology  and  weather  and specifically to the wind's ability to shape the surface of the  earth  (or other  planets). winds may  erode, transport, and deposit materials and are effective agents in regions with sparse  vegetation, a lack of soil moisture and a large supply of unconsolidated  sediments. although water is a much more powerful eroding force than wind, aeolian processes are important in arid environments such as  deserts

Yes he is right they are bacteria
