Abstract

AbstractOne important of satellite remote sensing is the count of cloudy days of a particular region. Cloud cover hampers radiation received from the sun therefore controls LST (land surface, SST (Sea Surface Temperature) accordingly humidity, evaporation, agriculture, tourism, and other human activities. Present work investigated long term high resolution cloud cover of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea using 6927 daily composite AVHRR satellite data from March 1993 to December 2012. Results mapped potential availability of obtaining cloud free images for use of other disciplines.
