Cloud patterns can tell us quite a bit about the habitats of plants and animals below, according to new research from the University at Buffalo and Yale University.
Using data from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites--which gathered two images per day of "cloud cover for nearly every square kilometer" of our planet between 2000 and 2014--scientists were able to identify geographic and spatial data for many significant species.
