sky cover

Such a landing, even with Fleet sky cover, would be opposed.

Thus in many circumstances when not clearly redundant, sky cover will be the first element.

For pilots, knowledge of the sky cover helps determine if visual flight rules are being met.

A sky cover symbol shall be recorded for each layer observed.

With some luck, we'll see a few breaks in the sky cover, but mostly cloudy should do it overall.

An autumnlike sky cover of heavy gray clouds hid the sun.

They and 22 others were chosen for their cultural importance, ranking them right up there with sky cover ski's piano concerto.

There was no true day, merely a lightening of the gray overcast from black to a deep, gloomy sky cover.

The use of sky cover in weather prediction has led to various weather lore over the centuries.

The civilian volunteers of Sky Watch provide aircraft for air searches and eye in the sky cover at major events.

Through a written test, the student will demonstrate his/her knowledge of the applicable observing practices regarding the assignment of sky cover abbreviations.

Sky cover (/SK) is used to report the cloud layer amounts and the height of the cloud base.

To compensate for the danger of rapidly changing sky cover, the averaging is weighted toward the first 10 minutes of the 30-minute averaging period.

Of course, these conditions vary as widely as do the type of surface, the topography, climate, season, time of day and sky cover.

Many trees grow to a height of 46 metres or more, their branches forming a canopy or sky cover under which grow smaller trees.

An okta is the amount of cloud present in the sky, expressed in oktas of the sky cover.

Below the shape indicating sky cover, the station model can indicate the coverage of low clouds, in oktas, and the ceiling height in hundreds of feet.

The middle and high-étage types are depicted above the sky cover circle of the station model, while the main low-étage cloud type is indicated below the circle.

The forecast parameters include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following: probability of precipitation, temperature, wind, sky cover, restrictions to visibility, and the seasonal ultraviolet index.

Clouds of any one of these four specifications are said to be predominant when their sky cover is greater than that of the clouds of any of the three other specifications.

Though I fully expect a good day to be outside, confidence in sky cover is not quite great enough to issue the stamp, partly because cold air aloft can promote extra clouds and even sometimes a random shower.

Record weather conditions (temperature, wind speed and direction, sky cover, precipitation), date, time of day, GPS coordinates of the observation point, and the approximate area and direction over which most observations were made.

The gridded three-hourly meteorological fields required by RELAD are obtained from objective analyses of hourly surface station data (wind, precipitation, temperature, vertical stability, sky cover, humidity) and 12-hourly upper air station data (wind).

Above or below the circle for manned stations (automatic stations do not report cloud types) that indicates sky cover can lie one or more symbols indicating cloud types in any of the low, middle and high-étages for tropospheric clouds.

AUTO2 REPORTS AUTO2 Reports are from an early type of station that is capable of measuring cloud height and sky cover, visibility, temperature, dew point, mean sea level pressure, wind velocity, and precipitation and rate.
