Abstract: A novel method was proposed to detect low stratus and fog (LSF) at dawn during the summertime using near simultaneous observations from dual geostationary-orbit satellites (GEOs): the Korean Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS; 128.2 degrees East) and the Chinese Feng-Yun-2D (FY-2D; 86.5 degrees East). The orbital positions of the GEOs provided a large difference (around 46.5 degrees) in the viewing zenith angle (VZA) in the study region (122-132 degrees East, 32.5-42.5 de…
