Cloud Optical Depth Estimation

Cloud Optical Depth Estimation is a methodological framework in remote sensing that quantifies the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation by clouds through the retrieval of optical depth from satellite or ground-based observations, distinguishing it from other cloud property retrievals by its focus on the dimensionless measure of radiative extinction integrated over the cloud vertical extent.
