- | The resulting training based on the publicly available real time data should provide sufficient data points for the ML Algorithm to create it's own real time ceiling data which can be cross referenced with ceilometers. | + | **Public |

- | For example, the UND Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences Skycam images, KGFK METAR, and GOES Satellite imagery can be utilized to determine cloud ceilings in the Grand Forks City area. The ML algorithm will be trained using regularly updated images and data points, enabling it to provide real-time ceiling figures more frequently than the hourly intervals provided by METAR and then produce a set of forecast data points for the location. | + | |
