Note générale :	It is demonstrated that the area of bright clouds measured from pictures obtained from satellites is proportional to the cloud system if noctural storms are insignificant. Criteria and circuitry to objectively determine cloud area are presented. This type of information can provide flood warming data in remote tropical areas where it may be difficult to obtain other measurements of rainfall in real time.
