Estimation of the total cloud cover with high temporal resolution and parametrization of short-term fluctuations of sea surface insolation

Sky observations by means of digital full sky imagers enable a continuous monitoring and archiving of the state of the atmosphere. A direct application is the estimation of the total amount of clouds with a very high temporal resolution. From simple methods of image analysis, we used the full sky im...
