An objective regional cloud mask algorithm for GOES infrared imager with regime-dependent thresholds for direct radiance assimilation
<p> A local, regime-dependent cloud mask (CM) algorithm is developed for isolating cloud-free pixels from cloudy pixels for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imager radiance assimilation using mesoscale forecast models. In this CM algorithm, thresholds for six different...
