Title: A correlation based cloud-detection algorithm combined with an examination of some split-window assumptions
Author: So, C.
Appeared in: International journal of remote sensing
Paging: Volume 16 (1995) nr. 15 pages 2875-2901

Contents: Twenty-six daytime NOAA-11 AVHRR images covering the Danish waters are analysed together with 99 cloud-free bulk temperature measurements. The images are cloud screened with a cloud-detection algorithm, which in excess of the usual threshold and variation tests consists of: a min_max-routine which among suspicious pixels points out the cloud contaminated pixels, and a separation of cloud pixels from cold water pixels by means of the correlation coefficient between the channel 4 brightness temperature and the channel 4-channel 5 brightness temperature. In the cloud screened images, the channel 4-channel 5 brightness temperatures do not increase with the satellite zenith angle and do not seem to carry any significant information about the true sea surface temperature (SST). Local meteorological and oceanographic effects are believed to be more important than the channel 4-channel 5 brightness temperatures.
