Abstract

For purposes of atmospheric correction of satellite images, the problem of estimating the distance from the cloud gap center at which the effect from cloudiness on the satellite image can be neglected is posed. The Monte Carlo method with the backward simulation scheme is used. The value for the radius of the gap in continuous cloudiness at which the influence of clouds changes the received radiation intensity by 10% has been obtained. Dependences of the received intensity on the gap radius have been obtained and explained.
