The beta distribution - A statistical model for world cloud cover
Abstract
A statistical distribution representing worldwide cloud cover is obtained as a basis for an empirical global cloud cover model incorporating some 29 regions of the globe which are of interest to NASA's Skylab Program. A total of 160 representative empirical cloud cover distributions were investigated with the conclusion that the beta probability distribution is an adequate model for world cloud cover.
