Satellite-based climate data records reach length of more than 40 years and are well suited to show the change in parameters, such as cloud fraction (cfc from CLARA-A3 starting 1979) or sunshine duration (SDU from SARAH-3 from 1983), here for example for Denmark. #ShowYourStripes
Stripe plot for Denmark showing the annual anomalies of cloud fraction with reference to 1991 to 2020 starting in 1979. Basis is the CM SAF CLARA-A3 climate data record. The color of the stripes is changing from left to right from red to blue, indicating a reduction in cloud fraction.
