Coupling sky images with radiative transfer models: a new method to estimate cloud optical depth
A method for retrieving cloud optical depth (<i>τ</i><sub>c</sub>) using a UCSD developed ground-based sky imager (USI) is presented. The radiance red–blue ratio (RRBR) method is motivated from the analysis of simulated images of various <i>τ</i><sub>c</s...
