| Zusammenfassung |
A cloud-detection method was used to retrieve
cloudy pixels from Meteosat images. High spatial resolution (one pixel), monthly
averaged cloud-cover distribution was obtained for a 1-year period. The seasonal
cycle of cloud amount was analyzed. Cloud parameters obtained include the total
cloud amount and the percentage of occurrence of clouds at three altitudes.
Hourly variations of cloud cover are also analyzed. Cloud properties determined
are coherent with those obtained in previous studies.
