{"url":"/dataset/cloudcast","name":"CloudCast","full_name":"CloudCast: A Satellite-Based Dataset and Baseline for Forecasting Clouds","description_markdown":"A satellite-based dataset called \"CloudCast\". It consists of 70080 images with 10 different cloud types for multiple layers of the atmosphere annotated on a pixel level. The spatial resolution of the dataset is 928  × 1530 pixels (3  × 3 km per pixel) with 15-min intervals between frames for the period January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2018. All frames are centered and projected over Europe.\r\n\r\nSource: [CloudCast: A Satellite-Based Dataset and Baseline for Forecasting Clouds](/paper/cloudcast-a-satellite-based-dataset-and)","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://vision.eng.au.dk/cloudcast-dataset/","introduced_date":"2021-03-02","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/cloudcast-a-satellite-based-dataset-and","title":"CloudCast: A Satellite-Based Dataset and Baseline for Forecasting Clouds","first_author":"A.
