Climatic Probabilities of the Vertical Distribution of Cloud Cover
註釋The probability model of areal coverage of weather conditions that was published in the Journal of Applied Meteorology (1979) is applied to extend the usefulness of climatic records of station sky cover (tenths) and ceiling height (meters) to the estimation of cloud presence at any level in the atmosphere or within any layer. Specifically, estimates are made of: (a) the average cloud cover as a function of the vertical distance above the ground, (b) the average amount of cloud presence, in layers or at individual levels, and (c) the probability distribution of cloud cover, from clear to overcast, at any level or in any layer between two levels.
