Abstract
Clouds over the Indochina Peninsula were observed by a 16 mm time-lapse movie camera, utilizing a passenger jet on 1 Oct. 1965. The aerial cloud pictures were analyzed by the stereoscopic method. The results of the analysis were compared with a satellite picture which was taken almost at the same time as that of the observation time. Because the resolving power of the satellite picture was poor compared with that of the aerial cloud pictures, it was difficult to identify individual clouds, however a good correlation was obtained between the brightness in the satellite picture and the cloud amount calculated from the aerial cloud pictures.
