3B.8 DEVELOPMENT OF AN AUTOMATED ARCTIC CLOUD MASK USING CLEAR-SKY SATELLITE OBSERVATIONSTAKEN OVER THE SHEBA and ARM NSA SITES

Detecting clouds with satellite data in polar regions is difficult due to minimal contrast between clouds and the underlying snow surface in visible (VIS; 0.65µm) wavelengths. The infrared (IR; 11µm) band often shows
