Okta to traditional approaches, satellite images do not account for cloud composition. Oktas are often referenced in aviation weather forecasts and low level forecasts: SKC = Sky clear (0 oktas); FEW = Few (1 to 2 oktas); SCT = Scattered (3 to 4 oktas); BKN = Broken (5 to 7 oktas); OVC = Overcast (8 oktas); NSC = nil significant cloud; CAVOK = ceiling and visibility okay. Okta In meteorology, an okta is a unit of measurement used to describe the amount of cloud cover at any given location such as a weather station. Sky conditions are estimated in terms of
Unit of measurement is just mathematically the same thing, multiply "Z" by unity, the product is still "Z": For example, you have an expression for a physical value "Z" involving the unit "feet per second" (formula_9) and you want it in terms of the unit "miles per hour" (formula_10): Or as an example using the metric system, you have a value of fuel economy in the unit "litres per 100 kilometres" and you want it in terms of the unit "microlitres per metre": One example of the importance of agreed units is the failure of the NASA Mars Climate Orbiter, which was accidentally
