Abstract

The comparison results for the characteristics of various cloud types according to MODIS and VIIRS data obtained for similar time are presented. The territory of Western Siberia is considered as the studied region. I have described the methodology for comparing satellite imagery of VIIRS and MODIS obtained for similar time. The cloud classification results by VIIRS day/night images are used for this. I have identified promising MODIS spectral bands for separating subtypes of some main cloud forms. The comparison results for the characteristics of various cloud types and their variability at nighttime are discussed. Promising directions for the development of this paper are presented.
