摘要
Ongoing operational requirements at the Hungarian Meteorological Service (HMS) require the implementation of cloud classification techniques based on satellite data. For use in an operational context these techniques should be fast, accurate and objective. An improved implementation of a fast cloud classification technique based on Meteosat data is described. The main cloud classes are determined on the two-dimensional (IR,VIS) histogram by a dynamic cluster analysis while the cumuliform and layer clouds are separated by a threshold in the standard deviation field. The method was tested for the data of May and September, 1992 comparing the results to surface observations and visual nephanalyses.
