Cloud mask via cumulative discriminant analysis applied to satellite infrared observations: scientific basis and initial evaluation
We introduce a classification method (cumulative discriminant analysis) of the discriminant analysis type to discriminate between cloudy and clear-sky satellite observations in the thermal infrared. The tool is intended for the high-spectral-resolution infrared sounder (IRS) planned for the geostati...
