Cloud Observation and Cloud Cover Calculation at Nighttime Using the Automatic Cloud Observation System (ACOS) Package by Bu-Yo Kim, Joo Wan Cha

“…Prior to calculating the cloud cover of ACOS, pre-processing was performed by removing surrounding obstacles and correcting the distortion caused by the fish-eye lens. In addition, the red–blue ratio (RBR) threshold was determined, according to the image characteristics (RBR and luminance) using the red, green, and blue (RGB) brightness value of the area in which the solar zenith angle (SZA) was less than 80°, to calculate the cloud cover. …”

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NADH) is a natural UV filter of certain bird lens by Nataliya A. Osik, Ekaterina A. Zelentsova, Kirill A. Sharshov, Yuri P. Tsentalovich

“…Abstract In this work, we for the first time report the identification of UV filters in the bird eye lens. We found that lenses of some raptors (black kite, common buzzard) and waterfowl (birds from Podicipedidae family) contain unusually high levels of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)—a compound with high absorption in the UV-A range with a maximum at 340 nm. …”
