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. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset ASCII dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral SATELLITES > SATELLITES U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms ICOADS > International Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set ISCCP > International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Projects EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD PROPERTIES > CLOUD FREQUENCY U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1900 2010 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 8.841 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d292003/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d292003/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
