Abstract

The MODIS cloud mask uses several cloud detection tests to indicate a level of confidence that the MODIS is observing clear skies. It will be produced globally at single‐pixel resolution; the algorithm uses as many as 14 of the MODIS 36 spectral bands to maximize reliable cloud detection and to miti...
