Currently, if a planet/moon/etc has a _clouds map, it overrides any _surf map that may be present. This is desirable behavior for objects like Venus, Jupiter, and Titan, but not so much for Earth or Mars.
There should be a new boolean value in planets.json to determine whether cloud maps are treated as transparent and overlaid on the surface map. If the value is absent, assume false.
Current Earth clouds can be auto-downloaded up to once every 3 hours from: https://clouds.matteason.co.uk/images/1024x512/clouds.jpg provided attribution is displayed when Earth cloud data are shown: Contains modified EUMETSAT data. See: https://github.com/matteason/live-cloud-maps .
