Summary
Abstract: This package documents climatological data for clouds derived from surface
observations. The data files document the numerical results included on the
maps in the atlases referenced and provide additional information such as cloud
amounts for individual years and individual times of day. These data were
derived from land and ship synoptic reports from the 'SPOT' archive of the
Fleet Numerical ... View entire text
