Band 4 (10.3 to 11.3 um) minus band 5 (11.5 to 12.5 um) brightness temperature difference images are used to detect the volcanic cloud, and distinguish it from meteorological clouds.
For meteorological clouds, the absorption of the of energy from the underlying surface is greater in band 5 than in band 4, due to a larger refractive indices for water and ice particles in the band 5 region than in the band 4 region.
For transparent volcanic clouds, the absorption of energy from the underlying surface is greater in the band 4 region than the band 5 region, due to a larger refractive index for silicates in the band 4 region than in the band 5 region.
