- Blended and Reconstructed Oceanic Monthly Cloudiness Estimates

| hasSummary |
-
Monthly cloudiness estimates are produced by blending satellite
estimates from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project
(ISCCP) with in situ estimates from the International Comprehensive
Ocean Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS). The monthly estimates are on a
2.5 degree spatial grid giving total cloud cover in oktas (0-8) for
1983-2008. The spatially complete blended estimate is then used to
form reconstruction statistics for a longer time period. Using those
statistics, the ICOADS historical cloudiness data is used to form a
5 degree global ocean total cloudiness reconstruction for 1900-2010.
