Atmosphere Cloud Cover Estimation
Here are some interactives to help train your eye for estimating cloud cover in the field. GLOBE cloud cover estimation requires the user to estimate cloud cover within 6 ranges as shown below.
No Clouds 0%
Few 0-10%
Isolated 10-25%
Scattered 25-50%
Broken 50-90%
Overcast >90%
The first two interactives ask the user to estimate the percent cover occupied by circles of various sizes. The goal is to get within 10% of the true cover. The final interactive asks the user to place the cover within the predefined GLOBE ranges.
