This study aims to compare between ratio technique (RT) and gradient technique (GT) to distinguish cirrus cloud from tropospheric aerosol over water in MODIS data. Both techniques make use of 1.375 µm and 1.240 µm band and are applied to five different scenes. The outcomes from both techniques are c...
