<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi - <br class="">
<br class="">
There are a few MODIS products that might be helpful but they give
a snapshot for a day and not images throughout a day. These are
the MODIS links: <br class="">
Cloud mask: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/MOD35_L2/">http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/MOD35_L2/</a><br class="">
Cloud variables: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/MOD06_L2/">http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/MOD06_L2/</a><br class="">
Cloud fraction:

<br class="">
For more frequent (every six hours) data you can try the NOAA
archives: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.goes.noaa.gov/f_ind.html">http://www.goes.noaa.gov/f_ind.html</a><br class="">

Hi all -
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m interested in looking at the historical amount
of <u class="">cloud cover</u> over various parts of Tanzania -
with the aim of predicting, month by month, what the best time
for aerial photography would be. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any idea what kinds of cloud cover data there are,
and where to find them?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m imagining something like the rainfall rasters,
showing % cover per pixel, month by month. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
