Statistical analysis of cloud cover at Pakistan coastal regions

This study presents a descriptive statistical analysis of cloud cover using monthly data for sindh and makran coasts recorded by the pakistan meteorological department from 1980 to 2004. for sindh coast,we are considered the data for karachi and for makran,we have taken the case of quetta. for this purpose,exploratory data analysis (eda) approach was utilized. through this approach,analysis of the data illustrated variability in the behavior of the cloud dynamics for both the regions. the degree of variation in the computed parametric values at karachi region was remarkable as compared to the quetta region. interpretations of the temporal character depict that the fluctuations in the cloud concentration of quetta region is different from karachi due to coastal location. © pakistan academy of sciences.
