Abstract

Multi-cell and single-cell clouds were analysed using Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS-5) data on 6 and 13 August 1997 in and around Bangladesh. The multi-cell cloud moved NE with a speed of about 6 m/s and lasted approximately 21 hours. The single-cell cloud moved SE with a speed of about 13 m/s and lasted approximately 12 hours. Clouds move faster on oceans than on land. At the mature stage of the cloud, convective component was 40% and the rest was stratiform. The precipitable portion of the cloud was 74% and the rest was non-precipitable which differs from the reported value.
