Evaluating the capabilities of modern machine learning techniques for operational over-ocean cloud masking with satellite imagers
Cloud detection is a fundamental first step in retrieving the geophysical properties of the Earth, determining which pixels contain clouds to generate a cloud mask. Analysis of passive imager missions contributing to the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment Cloud Assessments reveals slight …

Satellite Cloud Detection With Shortwave Channels: Algorithms, MISR Applications, and Three-Dimensional Radiative Effects
… fundamental step in satellite remote sensing---cloud detection, which has been known as the largest source of error in the retrievals of satellite geophysical products. This thesis consists of two parts: the operational part and the theoretical part. Specifically, the operational part is on the …

Development and verification of the NASA Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols operational cloud mask
… matter concentration measurement collected over cloud-free pixels. The quality of this product heavily depends on the validity of the cloud mask. In this project, we present a cloud masking algorithm for MAIA constrained to its hardware. It consists of 7 observables that are tested against …

Determining ground-level composition and concentration of particulate matter across regional areas using the Himawari-8 satellite
… coarse and further spatial aggregation or cloud masking would be detrimental to determining concentrations. Five dual-band BTD combinations, using all IR wavelengths, maximises the identification of compositional differences, atmospheric stability, and cloud cover and this improves the …
