Estimation of daily cloud‐free, snow‐covered areas from MODIS based on variational interpolation [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2012 NASA's MODIS global snow‐covered area (SCA) products are one of the mission's major objectives that frequently contain cloud hindrances, which degrade their practical usability. Many techniques have been developed to mitigate the problem but with no assurance of eliminating all of the clouds.
