Short summary
We developed a method to prune colour all-sky images into classes of clear or cloudy skies with and without aurora using supervised learning and pre-trained convolutional neural network. We investigate a 10-year database of auroral images taken from Svalbard. The method accuracy is well over 90 %, and the results show that about 2/3 of auroral images are cloudy with the cloudiest month being November. Aurora are most often observed in the morning hours independent on the solar activity.
