Infrared images can be "colourised" or "colour-enhanced" to bring out details in cloud patterns. Depending on the type of enhancement, the colours are used to signify certain aspects of the data.
Water vapour imagery, which is useful for both determining locations of moisture and atmospheric circulations, is created using a wavelength sensitive to the content of water vapour in the atmosphere.
