Ground-based infrared radiometers provide low-cost cloud monitoring. Existing methods require supporting data from other instruments – making them unusable in remote regions like the Tibetan Plateau. Our innovation enables fully independent cloud identification using only the radiometer's data. This self-contained solution eliminates dependencies on external equipment or historical datasets, providing a practical cloud monitoring method for isolated sites where conventional approaches fail.
