They forecast the cloud cover, transparency and astronomical seeing, parameters which are not forecast by civil or aviation forecasts. [1] They forecast hourly data, but are limited to forecasting at most 48 hours into the future. Each individual chart provides data for only a 9 mile radius, and so are essentially point forecasts.
