It is important to study the various cloud properties,\nas it impacts the total solar irradiance falling on the earth's surface. One of\nsuch important optical properties of the cloud is the Cloud Optical Thickness\n(COT). It is defined with the amount of light that can pass through the clouds.\nThe COT values are generally obtained from satellite images. However, satellite\nimages have a low temporal- and spatial- resolutions; and are not suitable for\nstudy in applications as solar energy generation and forecasting. Therefore,\nground-based sky cameras are now getting popular in such fields. In this paper,\nwe analyze the cloud optical thickness value, from the ground-based sky\ncameras, and provide future research directions.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.08995v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.08995v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"analyzing-cloud-optical-properties-using-sky","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/cloud-optical-thickness","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
