A technique for measuring atmospheric conditions includes: at a computing device, receiving, from an imager, image data representing an image of an atmospheric region; creating a cloud mask from the image data, the cloud mask including a cloud area corresponding a first area in the image that is cloud covered and a non-cloud area corresponding a second area in the image that is substantially without cloud cover; determining a measurement location in the non-cloud area that is spaced apart from a boundary of the cloud area and from edges of the cloud mask; steering a line of sight of a sensor to correspond to the measurement location; and measuring an atmospheric condition with the sensor at the measurement location within the non-cloud area.
