| Summary: | The accurate detection of clouds in satellite imagery is important in research and operational applications. Cloud cover
influences the distribution of solar radiation reaching the ground where it is absorbed. Resulting fluxes of sensible and
latent heat are critical to the accurate characterization of boundary layer behavior and mesoscale circulations that often lead
to convective development. Therefore the spatial and temporal variation in cloud cover can greatly affect regional and
localized weather processes. In this paper, techniques to detect cloud via satellite images is presented. |
