NSKY-CD: A System for Cloud Detection Based on Night Sky Brightness and Sky Temperature
Remote Sensing, 2023 Cloud cover is important meteorological information that still requires expensive equipment to be monitored from the ground, especially at night. The use of artificial lights at night causes light pollution, and clouds amplify this by reflecting light ...

Long-Time Trends in Night Sky Brightness and Ageing of SQM Radiometers
Remote Sensing, 2022 A very wide-used instrument for the measurement of the Night Sky Brightness (NSB) is the Sky Quality Meter (SQM). One of its important issues is tracking NSB for long time and connecting its variations to changes in outdoor lighting.
