Abstract
The optical depth and reflectance from thin cirrus clouds are calculated from two passes of AVIRIS over a scene in Florida. One of the passes contained partial cirrus cover, the other did not. Optical depths of 0.2 were calculated and the reflectance of the cloud at 1.38 μm was 0.026. The detection limit for cirrus is approximately an order of magnitude less in reflectance
