Units for Okta vs Cloud Cover
The article is inconsistent regarding units. It initially references "Oktas" as being the unit. This seems to be a "local observeration", vs a unit. Then the next numerical reference talks about 0.68 - which implies 0.68 okta. The customary cloud cover reference would be percent. Finally, down the bottom of the article, the discussion of variability seems to oscillate between a 'unit' measure and a percent measure. The global average is stated as being 67% which seems strangely similar to the statement of 0.68. Further the [2] reference for the 0.68 indicates "about 70%". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.254.170 (talk) 19:53, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Cloud cover video
There's a nice PD NASA video of global cloud cover here, but I haven't a clue how to convert and upload videos. This would be a nice addition to this article. Help? TIA, Pete Tillman (talk) 00:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Are they really called Octas after an instrument, I thought it was after the Latin for eight Octo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.96.246 (talk) 19:03, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
