Abstract
Clouds are one of the most important natural phenomena that have a great influence on climate, weather and the balance of the Earth's energy. Clouds are a key to regulating the Earth's temperatures. The effect of cloud cover on temperatures is of a different dimension. The normal temperatures for monitoring (00) GMT and monitoring (1200) GMT from a fixed side and through mathematical indicators that determine the strength of the relationship and its classification, and the current study was interested in an attempt to understand a very important ritual phenomenon that did not take its right to climate studies that were in Iraq, which is the study of influential clouds. In Iraq, where the percentage of days that are recorded recurrently for low clouds in selected stations in Iraq varies compared to the days in which the cloudiness of the sky prevails and is free of clouds. In general, the percentage of days without clouds is higher, and Iraq witnesses a recording of repetition of all types of low clouds in different topographical regions, except They differ in their frequency ratios between night and day observations; Observing (00) GMT, the highest frequency of occurrence of type (SC5) reached about 56.5٪, and the seasons of the year vary in the nature of the cloud cover in them, at a time when the frequency of clouds increases in the winter season, recording the highest total sum of the frequency of clouds types reached 44.2 - 36.6٪ During the day and night.
