The\nconventional manner of such cloud analysis is performed mainly via satellite\nimages. However, because of its low temporal- and spatial- resolutions,\nground-based sky cameras are now getting popular. In this paper, we study the\nrelation between the cloud cover obtained from MODIS images, with the coverage\nobtained from ground-based sky cameras. This will help us to better understand\ncloud formation in the atmosphere - both from satellite images and ground-based\nobservations.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1709.05283v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.05283v1.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":"correlating-satellite-cloud-cover-with-sky","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/MODIS-cloud-mask","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}
