This display helps with the recognition of clouds of different layers, even when they overlap - click on the middle icon to the bottom right for the scale.

27 февр. 2024 г. · Total cloud cover combines all 3 cloud layers as a weighted average whereby high clouds are less significant to the total cloud cover. Based ...

It can be seen from the figure that the four stations have the highest frequencies and good consistency under the condition of full clouds and cloudlessness; ...

The cloud cover for low clouds and medium clouds are combined to represent a total height of 6 km. Both the observed and modelled cloud cover is larger during ...

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades. Data is available from 1940 onwards.

This study compares the monthly total cloud cover (TCC) and high cloud cover (HCC) of the four commonly used atmospheric reanalysis datasets.

The Google Cloud Public Dataset Program hosts ERA5 data that spans from 1940 to May 2023, covering the Earth on a 30 km grid and resolves the atmosphere.

However, the cloud cover is overestimated by 17% and 33% in ERA5 and MERRA-2, respectively. The atmospheric and cloud profiles (i.e., temperature, cloud mixing ...
