Observation if there have relation between clouds cover and relative humidity? We use Taiwanese National Miaoli Senior High School globe’s observational data, make the ADC map of cloud cover and relative humidity . In addition, we use the GLOBE Web site observe whether clouds cover have relationship with the relative humidity ? We use Taiwan's Miaoli school globe observations to do cloud cover and relative humidity correlation coefficient map , in addition to the correlation coefficient Figure 4 other countries .Besides,we choose the cloud cover and relative humidity’s data of other country on the globe website ,and do its ADC map to deserve weather it have absolutely positive relation

From Hameed Sulaiman -

It is very good work. I like that you chose other GLOBE data to compare with your country.
1. What made you interested in choosing data from other countries?
2. What is the limitation of the data and limitation of your comparison?
The data we used in this research is not all from GLOBE database, only the data from our school is GLOBE data. We are sorry for that. The other data is
from Open Weather Map, as we mentioned in our report.
Our answers to your questions:
1. Because features of the weather is more obvious in other county and located four directions of Taiwan, we chosen them and expected to find a clear pattern.
2.Since the cover of cloud is visual estimation, It is hard to avoid error. And the cover of the cloud rang is too large. We can’t get a precise number. What is more, comparing to season in north and south area aren’t same when we compared data in various regions.
