There are instruments called Ceilometers which can measure cloud height and cover, but they're not especially accurate for cover (they are quite good for cloud height, especially at night) as a cloud can sit over the instrument and give a false reading. Also, unless cloud passes over them they give a false negative. The best instrument for measuring cloud cover is a trained Mark I eyeball (or two)

What does nasa use to study clouds?

NASA uses a variety of tools and instruments to study clouds, including satellites equipped with advanced sensors that can measure cloud properties from space. Instruments like the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the CloudSat radar provide data on cloud altitude, thickness, and type. Additionally, aircraft and ground-based observations contribute to a comprehensive understanding of cloud dynamics and their role in climate and weather patterns.
