In this review paper, the significance of cloud amount measurements in meteorology and the objectives of cloud amount measurement projects have been discussed by reviewing different research papers and articles. Cloud amount measurement is crucial in understanding weather patterns and predicting future weather events, and it can also be used to assess the impact of clouds on climate and support renewable energy production, aviation, and transportation. The paper includes a literature survey of the research papers related to cloud cover detection and estimation using various methods such as digital cameras and algorithms based on longwave downward radiation measurements. Overall, cloud amount measurement projects aim to collect and analyse data on cloud cover and other meteorological parameters to improve weather forecasting, support climate research, and enhance various industries and sectors that rely on accurate weather information.
