Study and application on cloud covered rate for agroclimatical distribution using in Guangxi based on modis data

Abstract

Based on analyzing of the physical characteristics of cloud and importance of cloud in agricultural production and national economy, cloud is a very important climatic resources such as temperature, precipitation and solar radiation. Cloud plays a very important role in agricultural climate division .This paper analyzes methods of cloud detection based on MODIS data in China and Abroad . The results suggest that Quanjun He method is suitable to detect cloud in Guangxi. State chart of cloud cover in Guangxi is imaged by using Quanjun He method .We find out the approach of calculating cloud covered rate by using the frequency spectrum analysis. At last, the Guangxi is obtained. Taking Rongxian County Guangxi as an example, this article analyze the preliminary application of cloud covered rate in distribution of Rong Shaddock pomelo . Analysis results indicate that cloud covered rate is closely related to quality of Rong Shaddock pomelo. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
