The article discusses a study which uses a simple algorithm to detect for multiple cloud layers. It applies the algorithm to coincident passive sensors and examines the differences between multi-layer and vertically-extended clouds. Findings reveal that there is seasonal variations in the spatial distribution of the cloud types.
