The aim of this paper is to visualize cloud in three-dimension using images received from meteorological satellite. Since infrared images have the same property as range images, satellite images can be converted into three-dimensional volume data, and can be visualized in three-dimension by means of volume rendering technology. With visualized images, users can more easily grasp the three-dimensional structure of clouds.
