In the preceding note Winston (1965) has given a discussion of our interpretation of the TIROS III radiation measurements. According to our analysis (Rasool, 1964) the TIROS III data imply either that there is an increase in cloudiness in the nighttime in the Southern Hemisphere and a decrease in the Northern Hemisphere or that the mean height of the clouds in the nighttime is higher in the Southern Hemisphere and lower in the Northern Hemisphere. He contends that the diurnal variation in cloudiness over oceans may be in the opposite sense; namely, a higher amount of cloudiness in the daytime than in the night. Table 1 and Fig. 1 of the preceding article derived from climatological estimates of cloudiness, are offered in support of this contention. We give arguments favoring the first alternative. Winston criticizes the possibility that nighttime cloudiness is greater on the grounds that it disagrees with ground based climatological results.
