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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Mar 8, 2025 · A ceilometer is a meteorological instrument designed to measure the height of the cloud ceiling or cloud base. It operates by emitting a powerful beam of light, modulated at an …

Feb 15, 2025 · The core function of a ceilometer is to obtain vertical structure information such as cloud height, thickness, and distribution through active detection technology.
