Some Models for Sky Cover.

Abstract

Models for predicting the climatological probability of a given amount of sky cover at a given time and for seven diverse locations are developed. The first models are for specific months and times of day (96 models, one for each month and three hour period of the day). The second models are general models and day of the year and hour of the day are model inputs. Estimates of amounts of error to be expected when using the model are given. (Author)
