Abstract
In this letter, a space time synthesizer for the generation of monthly cloud free line of sight (CFLOS) statistics is presented. The proposed monthly time series generator is based on the synthesis of 3D cloud fields using Stochastic Differential Equations. Monthly Integrated Liquid Water Content (ILWC) statistics are used as inputs, and the temporal and spatial correlation of clouds is considered. The monthly variability of the cloud coverage is predicted, and the CFLOS is estimated taking into account the elevation angle of the slant path and the altitude of the station for high altitude optical ground stations. Finally, CFLOS numerical results are reported, and some significant conclusions are drawn.
