Seasonal cycle of cloud cover analyzed using Meteosat images [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 A cloud-detection method was used to retrieve cloudy pixels from Meteosat images. High spatial resolution (one pixel), monthly averaged cloud-cover distribution was obtained for a 1-year period. The seasonal cycle of cloud amount was analyzed.
