Abstract
The main results of the development and testing of the cloud detection method are presented. The main purpose of the method is the identification and classification of clouds in satellite images with the subsequent retrieval of quantitative characteristics. The method provides digital datasets in the form of maps of cloud classes, cloud top height, and cloud top temperature. The consecutive stages of cloud detection are considered, and the conditions and basic results of the method testing are presented.
