description abstractA survey of shallow (fair weather) cumulus clouds over part of Amazonia yields evidence of enhanced frequency where the forest had been cleared. The survey covers one dry-season month from 1988. It employs a threshold algorithm to construct an image of cumulus cloud cover from sets of geostationary satellite visible-infrared image pairs. Cumulus images were constructed for two times. The morning image shows no association of the cumulus index with cultural features. However, in the afternoon image a patch of high index values coincides with deforestation along highway BR-364 in the state of Rondônia.
