An algorithm for estimating the range of influence of broken cloudiness on the results of retrieving reflectance of cloudless Earth surface regions is proposed for satellite observations through gaps in a cloud field. The algorithm is based on the Monte Carlo method of simulation of radiation transfer in broken stochastic cloudiness with averaging over the cloud field. Two models of cloud fields are considered: the field shapes as parallelepipeds and paraboloids. The method is tested for two fragments of the real MODIS image with the coordinates of 53.4°–56.4° N, 109°–115° E and 49.0°–51.0° N, 121°–123° E. The results of computations show that the effect of cloudiness is significant at distances up to 25 km for the first image fragment and up to 5–7 km for the second one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
