The invention discloses an all-
sky total
cloud cover detection method, and relates to the technical field of
meteorology, and the method comprises the steps: based on the characteristic that the
brightness temperature data in an
atmosphere background state is greatly different from the
brightness temperature data of cloud, under the characteristic that the
atmosphere background state has continuity and does not suddenly change instantly, calculating the
brightness temperature data of the cloud; performing data screening on
observation data in a historical acquisition period in a clear
sky state before a current detection moment, adding the data into a
data processing pool, extracting historical minimum brightness temperature data in each
elevation angle range in the
data processing pool, and performing fitting to obtain an all-
sky clear sky model; the method is used for representing the characteristics of brightness temperature data in an
atmosphere background state at a current detection moment, and then the total
cloud cover of the whole sky can be obtained according to the whole sky
infrared brightness temperature data at the current detection moment in combination with a whole sky clear sky model. According to the method, the dependence on a large amount of historical data is reduced, the detection convenience and accuracy are high, and the application range is wide.
