Abstract
The cloud adjacency effect (CAE) on retrieved values of ground surface reflectance is assessed. The assessment method employs the software for statistical simulation of radiation transfer in the atmosphere with a stochastic cloud field including a deterministic gap of a given radius, and then the simulated results are used in an interpolation formula. Masks of cloudless pixels, for which the cloud adjacency effect changes retrieved reflectances by values greater than 0.005, are constructed. The coefficients of correlation of the CAE radius with the initial data show that the major contributors are the cloud optical thickness, cloud cover index, and surface reflectance.
