Some Aspects of Estimating the Probability of Cloud-Free Lines-of-Sight in Dynamic Situations

Abstract

Dynamic Cloud-Free Line-of-Sight (CFLOS) problems involve either moving points between which the line-of-sight is to be assessed or a time during which the line-of-sight between two points, moving or stationary, is to be assessed. There are no adequate assessment techniques available for these kinds of problems. As a preliminary step toward developing the required techniques, the variables associated with certain types of dynamic CFLOS problems are examined and a computer program which models the space/time aspects of these types is presented.
