Stueve-Diagram

Hello everyone,
In the Stueve diagram, the cloud cover is shown as a percentage in the left column.
Does the diagram also include convective clouds?

Hello, and thank you for your question.

The cloud cover percentage shown in the left column of the Stueve diagram represents total cloud cover, divided into low, mid, and high cloud layers, and does not specifically isolate convective clouds. Convective clouds are treated as a separate variable in meteoblue data and are not included in the total cloud cover percentage. However, the Stueve diagram does include convective parameters such as convective updraft in the point+ subscription. Additionally, convective cloud base, top, and vertical extent are available separately in meteoblue forecasts and APIs.

We hope we were able to answer your questions and wish you pleasant weather with meteoblue.
