It depends on the point of view. That's what researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and their colleagues found when they looked into why satellite and ground-based cloud measurements sometimes disagree. Now, researchers have used co-located measurements to test how well the two kinds of measurements agree. They found mostly positive news. Many of the measurements translate to similar data, but some didn't. And now the researchers know why.
