Do clouds save the great barrier reef? satellite imagery elucidates the cloud-SST relationship at the local scale. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Evidence of global climate change and rising sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is now well documented in the scientific literature. With corals already living close to their thermal maxima, increases in SSTs are of great concern for the survival of coral ...

Short-term changes in global cloud cover and in cosmic radiation [PDF]
, 2008 Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) have been suggested as a possible contributory mechanism to cloud formation. If these are significant then, in addition to the similarity between long-term (years) changes in GCR and cloud cover, there should also be a ...

An improvement of snow/cloud discrimination from machine learning using geostationary satellite data
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2022 Snow and cloud discrimination is a main factor contributing to errors in satellite-based snow cover. To address the error, satellite-based snow cover performs snow reclassification tests on the cloud pixels of the cloud mask, but the error still remains.
