Cloud fraction, a broadcast and spring forward -- this and more in this week's roundup.

1. IMAGE OF THE WEEK: The image above is from the MODIS instrument on board the Aqua satellite and shows all of the clouds seen during the month of February (2017).

You can access daily and monthly imagery of the Earth and its clouds in the link below. Why not try comparing "Cloud Fraction" across the months to see which was the cloudiest.

4. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS  It's that time of year again. If you live in the United States, Daylight Saving Time starts at 2 a.m. on 12 March 2017. You can get a head start and turn your clock back one hour at bedtime on Saturday night.

Your phone will do this automatically for you, so no need to worry about satellite flyover times while using the GLOBE Observer Clouds app after Saturday.
