Long Term Monitoring and Connection between Topography and Cloud Cover Distribution in Serbia

The use of weather satellite recordings has been growing rapidly over the last three decades. Determining patterns between meteorological and topographical features is an important scientific job. Cloud cover analysis properties can be utmost significance for potential cloud seeding. Here, was conducted by means Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) recordings. resolution used data 1 km2 within period 30 years (1989–2019). This research showed moderate changing cloudiness in territory Serbia with a high February, followed January November. For past decades, May month highest cloudiness. regions east south-west, particularly west, have absolute cloudiness, which connected elevation country. By long term monitoring, whole analyzed first time, terms Apart from statistical numerical results obtained, this connection relief clouds, especially winter season. Linear regression MK (Mann-Kendall test) proven theory right, connecting sides through year.
