Maldives KCO All Sky Camera Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/22.050

Summary
This data set is a collection of 17140 daytime cloud images taken with a Total
Sky Imager (TSI; Yankee Environmental Systems) at the Kaashidhoo Climate
Observatory (KCO) in the Maldives, during the 1999 INDOEX intensive field
phase. The data set starts on 19 February 1999 at 10:43:39 Universal Time and
ends on 31 March 1999 at 13:08:33 UT. KCO is located at 4.9664 degrees N and
73.4657 degrees E, the TSI was mounted about 5 m above sea level (mean
elevation of the site is about 0.5-1.0 m) on the rooftop of the accommodation
house.
