Observation and recording methods
Automatic observation
Measure cloud height using instruments when conditions permit. When using a ceilometer to measure the height of the cloud base, the ceilometer must be installed on the top platform of the hull. The maximum measurement distance of a ceilometer is generally not less than 7500m, with an accuracy of ±1% of the range or 5m. 6.3.2 Manual observation
6.3.2.1 Observation and recording of cloud cover
Divide the sky into 10 equal parts, visually observe the percentage of the sky occupied by clouds, and record it in percentages. If there are no clouds all day or the cloud cover is less than 0.5%, the cloud cover is recorded as 0; if the sky is completely covered by clouds, the cloud cover is recorded as 10: if the sky is basically covered by clouds, but there are gaps in the clouds, the cloud cover is recorded as 10-. 6.3.2.2 Observation and recording of low cloud height
Record the lowest height of low clouds observed according to Table 2, to the nearest 1m. 6.3.2.3 Observation and recording of cloud shape
Observe cloud shape according to three families, ten genera and twenty-nine categories, namely high, medium and low. Determine cloud shape according to its appearance, structure, color (see Appendix B) and height, various common weather phenomena and the development and evolution of clouds, and distinguish cloud types (see Table 2). Record their abbreviations in order according to the amount of clouds.
When there is no cloud, the cloud column is blank; when the cloud type cannot be determined, the cloud column is marked with "". Table 2

When the cloud amount and cloud shape are unclear due to fog, the total cloud amount and low cloud amount are both recorded as 10, and the cloud shape is recorded as "three"; when the cloud shape of the zenith can be judged through the fog, the total cloud amount and low cloud amount are both recorded as 10, and the cloud shape is recorded as "three" and the visible cloud shape is recorded as "three".3.2 Manual Observation
6.3.2.1 Observation and Recording of Cloud Amount
Divide the sky into 10 equal parts, visually observe the percentage of clouds in the sky, and record it to the nearest percentage. If there are no clouds or the cloud amount is less than 0.5 percentage points, the cloud amount is recorded as 0; if the sky is completely covered by clouds, the cloud amount is recorded as 10; if the sky is basically covered by clouds, but there are gaps in the clouds, the cloud amount is recorded as 10-. 6.3.2.2 Observation and Recording of Low Cloud Height
Record the lowest height of low clouds seen according to Table 2, and record it to the nearest 1m. 6.3.2.3 Observation and Recording of Cloud Shape
Cloud shape is observed in three groups, ten genera and twenty-nine categories, namely high, medium and low. According to the cloud's appearance, structure, color (see Appendix B) and altitude, various common weather phenomena and the development and evolution of clouds, the cloud shape is identified and classified into cloud types (see Table 2). According to the amount of clouds, the abbreviations are recorded in sequence.
When there are no clouds, the cloud shape column is blank; when the cloud shape cannot be determined, the cloud shape column is recorded as "" Table 2
