I was curious if you saved any metrics regarding how often a particular location (pixel) is clear or cloudy? We didn’t, but it would be pretty easy to re-deriv

We didn’t, but it would be pretty easy to re-derive. The cloudiest places at this scale are the sides of mountains in the Intertropical Convergence Zone[0], where wet air rises several thousand meters, thus cooling and thus condensing. For example, tomorrow I’ll be spending a lot of time looking at Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
