Abstract

Abstract A simple method for reducing the effect of cloud on satellite thermal imagery, while preserving full temperature and spatial resolution, is presented. The method makes use of the correlation between apparent thermal and visible radiances in an area contaminated by thin or patchy (subpixel) cloud. The method was developed for ocean images where the cloud is present over an area of low uniform albedo in the visible spectral region, but advantages are also demonstrated in processing Arctic images containing some sea ice cover.
