Cloud frequency maps are important in climatelogy. A data fusion approach of cloud frequency mapping is developed to integrate GOES and MODIS satellite imagery and take advantage of the high temporal resolution of the former and the higher spatial resolution of the latter. Land observation of solar radiation showed significant relationship with the fused maps.
