So as one can see, clouds do not act alone to impac t our environment. It is one part of Mother Nature that works in turn with everything else to produce its worldwide effects. Thus, Cloud Climatology is important to know and study. Results of our observations have led us to conclude several concepts with clouds. Analysis of the mean cloud coverage percentage data and charts shows a direct relationship between the locations of the Earth relative to the equator and their cloud coverage.
Correlation is seen in increased cloud coverage when nearing the equator.
The inverse relationship is also true that the poles would have less cloud coverage. Cloud coverage was much greater in the oceans than on land. According to our charts, the greatest cloud coverage occurs in the Atlantic Ocean adjoining South America and the southern part of Africa. Cloud differences can also be attr ibuted to differences in the convection of land and water. Oceans tend to have constant evaporation and clouds formed tended to be thinner.
