Short summary
The mountain cloud forest of Taiwan can be delimited from other forest using a map of the ground fog frequency. An algorithm able to detect ground fog from satellite data is necessary for the creation of such a map. Common fog detection algorithms are not applicable in Taiwan as they rely on assumptions that are not met by most fog occurrences in Taiwan. Therefore a new statistical method for ground fog detection in mountainous areas that is based only on a few basic assumptions is presented.
