Vertical orbit curtain describing cloud vertical structure of typhoon Prapiroon
(Radar Reflectivity, dBZ) derived from CloudSat satellite.

The Cloudsat instrument is viewing the typhoon Prapiroon (August 2nd,
2006). On this date, the typhoon was located over the South China sea
and the CloudSat parameter shown is the Radar Reflectivity parameter
(unit: dBZ). The heights of the highest clouds are ~15 kms and substantial
convective activity can be seen within the vertical structure of the typhoon.
