A method for estimating the radius of the effect of broken cloudiness on the accuracy of reconstructing the reflection coefficients of the Earth surface areas observed through gaps in the cloudy field is proposed. To estimate the radius, the process of radiation propagation in broken cloudiness is simulated by the Monte-Carlo method with averaging of the ascending light flux intensities over realizations of the cloudy field. The method is tested using the results of passive sensing of the Earth surface with the MODIS equipment.
