A Method for Estimating the Cloud Adjacency Effect on the Ground Surface Reflectance Reconstruction from Passive Satellite Observations through Gaps in Cloud Fields

A method for estimating the cloud adjacency effect on reflectance of ground surface areas reconstructed from passive satellite observations through gaps in fields is proposed. The allows one to estimate which can be considered small (the increment ?rsurf? 0.005). algorithm based statistical simulation by Monte Carlo radiation transfer stochastic broken cloudiness with a deterministic cylindrical gap. An interpolation formula obtained radius that used reconstruction real time without calculations method.
