Infrared satellite images are computer enhanced to increase the contrast between specific features in the picture, such as temperature differences between clouds and land surfaces. This allows for the identification of areas where thick clouds with cold tops are located, which can indicate areas of potential storms or severe weather. Additionally, infrared satellite images can show where clouds with tops near the freezing level are located, which can be important for aviation and weather forecasting purposes. Therefore, all of the above choices are correct.
