Abstract
The study of clouds, i.e., where they occur and what are their characteristics, plays a key role in the understanding of climate change. The aim of this project is to use machine learning in conjunction with parallel computing techniques to classify cloud types. Experiments with k-means clustering are conducted with two parallelism techniques.
