OBS

La nébulosité se définit comme la partie du ciel couverte par les nuages puisque ce sont ces derniers qui, généralement, obscurcissent le ciel. Néanmoins, on peut préférer ne pas se référer à la notion de nébulosité quand d'autres phénomènes, comme les panaches de pollution, les fumées, les suies et les aérosols contribuent à l'obscurcissement du ciel.
