Cloud Fraction
From Handwiki Cloud fraction is the percentage of each pixel in satellite imagery or each grid box in a weather or climate model that is covered with clouds. A cloud fraction of one means the pixel is completely covered with clouds, while a cloud fraction of zero represents a totally cloud free pixel.[1] Cloud fraction is important for the modeling of downward radiation.[2]
