Spatial and Temporal Availability of Cloud-free Optical Observations in the Tropics to Monitor Deforestation

Abstract State-of-the-art methodologies to monitor deforestation rely mostly on optical satellite observations. High-density optical time series can enable the detection of deforestation almost as soon as it occurs. However, deforestation monitoring in the tropics can be hindered by high cloud cover...
