This is last week’s AWS Roadmap email. Kevin and I, and suspect many of you, were tied up at last week’s Cloud Forum. In recognition of that event, I give you this fun fact.
Cloud cover is measured in Oktas
The unit of cloud-cover measurement is in Oktas, (eights of a sky). If the reading is zero oktas, that means the sky is completely cloud-free. That’s a clear sky. A sky covered
in clouds entirely will thus have a cloud cover of eight oktas. Measuring cloud cover can be done by visual observation or satellite imagery, among other methods. Oktas only estimate cloud cover in terms of area, but cannot estimate cloud thickness, or type.
