             abstract = "Data registered by orbital sensors are strongly affected by the 
                         atmosphere between the sensors and the ground surface. Clouds, 
                         particularly, are major constraints on earth- viewing satellite 
                         systems operating in the visible and infrared bands, sensibly 
                         diminishing their potential value. Therefore, in analysis of 
                         required temporal resolution for specific applications, the 
                         effective temporal resolution has to be calculated taking into 
                         consideration cloud coverage. The objective of this study has been 
                         the analysis of the impact of cloud cover on the utilization of 
                         LANDSAT data by month and covering all regions of Brazil and 
                         classified according to their potential and real use. Brazil has 
                         considerable cloud cover throughout the year, as indicated by 
                         meteorological statistical data. Preliminary results indicate that 
                         effective use of LANDSAT in Brazil is much lower than it has been 
                         anticipated. This fact is based on the analysis of nine years of 
                         data collected by the LANDSAT satellites.",
