Cloud detection from MOS measurements



The two presented scenes show the results of the cloud detection algorithm together with appropriate true colour images. The cloud mask is realised as a float number between 0 and 1, values around 0 indicate cloudfree pixel, values around 1 cloudy pixel. The exact value serves as a mean to estimate the reliability of the cloud detection.
The first scene is recorded in November 1998 over nothwesterly France and southeasterly Great Britain, the second scene in November 1999 over Switzerland and northerly Italy.
