teevee,
Global cloud cover data is one of the top things on my list to find more of.
There's several layers of cloud cover and much of the data focuses on individual layers.
Still more of it is for small areas or regions....like records for Southern England etc.
There's very little that I can find on total cloud cover over a significant enough time period to compare to cosmic ray flux.
Except, a while ago I posted this chart where you can see clouds decreasing from 1987 into the peak solar activity of the 90s then, as solar activity began to subside, clouds increased. Message 31869097
(The search feature is very handy on this board)


The "pause" in global warming was beginning just as this data was ending so you can see that at a certain point it doesn't take much to flip the switch to cooling.

Not exactly current cloud cover data but it's a good overview of the net incoming/outgoing heat energy during certain times.

During years of El Nino heat is retained and distributed poleward away from the Equator via "ocean Transport" and Walker circulation pattern, This effects the Amount of loss of irradience (OLR) Or outgoing Longwave Radiation, Net amount retained vs loss.

Typically during June- September OHC during El Nino sees negative OLR indicative of enhanced convection and more cloud cover, More convective activity in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific implies higher , colder cloud tops, which emit much less infrared radiation into space, warmer terrestrial temperatures are greatest in the 0-70°N as this is the largest land mass.

Moreover a loss in OHC at Equator would transpose in a greater loss of OLR to space and a loss of terrestrial temperature, given the SH winter this would reflect in a "plataue" or reduction in Global Temperatures.

Below OLR graph since 2016.
