Climate Central: NASA has put a new item up on Amazon. But there's no price tag and you won't necessarily find it by using the marketplace's search bar or browsing the electronics section. Instead, you'll have to look at Amazon's cloud, where NASA scientists have shared 11 terabytes of high resolution climate projections.

NASA's Aqua satellite has built up this average view of Earth's surface by monitoring global cloud cover every day since 2002. Cloud-free areas are dark blue, lighter shades represent more cloud cover, and the most overcast areas are white. The map reveals three particularly cloudy bands. A white strip runs close to the equator while two wider bands run roughly...
