Cloud screening and quality control algorithm for star photometer data: assessment with lidar measurements and with all-sky images

This paper presents the development and set up of a cloud screening and data quality control algorithm for a star photometer based on CCD camera as detector. These algorithms are necessary for passive remote sensing techniques to retrieve the columnar aerosol optical depth, δ<su...
