A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud ceiling or cloud base. [1] Ceilometers can also be used to measure the aerosol concentration within the …

Campbell Scientific offers ceilometers that use lidar (light detection and ranging) technology to measure cloud height, vertical visibility, and mixing layer height.

Vaisala ceilometers accurately measure ceiling or base height of cloud layers, and they leverage pulsed diode lidar technology and single lens optics. They are engineered to deliver highly accurate data on …

Ceilometer, device for measuring the height of cloud bases and overall cloud thickness. One important use of the ceilometer is to determine cloud ceilings at airports.

The Model 8339 Laser Ceilometer measures cloud height and thickness, in addition to vertical visibility. Unlike other ceilometers, the Model 8339 detects up to four cloud layers simultaneously to a distance …

Sep 19, 2019 · Ceilometer is a component of the Telemetry project. Its data can be used to provide customer billing, resource tracking, and alarming capabilities across all OpenStack core components. …

Ceilometer is a device for determining the cloud ceiling by means of a reflected light beam. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) defines cloud ceiling as the height of the lowest opaque …

The Vaisala Laser Ceilometer (CEIL) is a self-contained, ground-based, active, remote-sensing device designed to measure cloud-base height, vertical visibility, and potential backscatter signals by aerosols.

The reporting of vertical visibility is dependent on the thickness and density of the moisture layer. To correctly classify these signals received by the ceilometer, sensor software processes the data into …

They use a laser or another light source to detect backscatter from clouds, precipitation, and aerosols. Ceilometers provide detailed, precise measurements in all weather conditions and are cost-effective …
