Double-click and select Cloud Fraction in January. To close the citation, click the X in the top right corner of the window. Indirectly, clouds can show us where we can find high pressure and low pressure areas. Where we find significant cloud cover, low pressures exist due to the convergence and ascension of warm, moist air that cools, condenses and forms clouds. This map shows the average global cloud cover for the month of January. The legend at the top shows the proportion of cloud cover, which ranges from no cloud cover at 0.0 (dark blue) to complete cloud cover at 1.0 (white). Double-click and select Cloud Fraction in July. To close the citation, click the X in the top right corner of the window. This map layer now shows the average cloud cover for the month of July. As you may notice, some areas with cloud cover maintain cloud cover, and some areas without cloud cover maintain cloudless skies. However, in some areas, cloudless skies are now cloudy and vice versa. You will look at both January and July layers to answer the following questions. (Hint: If you need to locate the following places on Google Earth, type in the name of the country or area in the Search navigation bar and click Search.)
