Abstract:
Malaysia is a maritime country and situated 7 degrees north of the equator in
Southeast Asia. The weather in Malaysia is generally hot, sunny and humid throughout
the year. Today clouds play important roles in the world climate. As a result, clouds
movement and velocity were considered as an important part in weather forecasting. Tltjs
project aims to investigate the cloud movements and velocity during Southwest monsoon
period in Malaysia. The cloud movements and velocity were determined by using the
NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) satellite A VHRR images.
