Abstract

We discuss a problem of cloud cover monitoring in the areas of Yakutsk EAS array and TAIGA observatory at nighttime during annual observations from October to April. It is shown, that utilization of data from instruments aboard Terra, Aqua, SNPP and NOAA-20 satellites, received by ground stations of Altai State University and processed up to level 2 (retrieval of geophysical parameters of atmosphere), provides an opportunity to carry out monitoring observations of cloud cover structure at night-time with high spatial resolution and frequency which is sufficient to make cloud correction of detector arrays readings.
