A Cloud Detection Algorithm Over Land Based on the Polarized Characteristics Difference Between Cloudless and Cloud Targets

Abstract The accurate identification of cloud over land is one of the key issues of the satellite data processing and the product retrievals. This paper describes a new cloud detection algorithm based on Level 1 data of Polarization and Directionality of Earth's Reflectance. The simulation of m...
