Cloudbuddy data
We will have the privilege to work with data on a newly discovered being: Cloudbuddies. Cloudbuddies were first discovered in 2013 and for a decade they have been a source of confusion and frustration in the scientific community, due to, among other things, the fact that they seem to be a living, breathing, inexplicable mix of Altocumulus clouds and Cloudberries. Not much is known about Cloudbuddies and currently data is rather limited, but over the course of the next months more and more information will be collected and shared with us for analysis.
