NCAR/EOL ISS Ceilometer Data (ISS3 York Airport Site)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/561.005

Summary
This dataset contains Ceilometer data collected by the NCAR/EOL Integrated
Sounding System (ISS) located at the York, NE airport during the GRAINEX field
campaign. This dataset includes raw ceilometer data in ASCII text format, L3
netCDF files, as well as plots of the data in png format. These data have been
reviewed for completeness and quality, but have not been modified since
preliminary release (v0.1). Documentation for the ASCII raw data files can be
found in the Vaisala Ceilometer CL31 Users Guide (refer to page 63 CL31 data
message section). Link to the document is found in the Documentation section
below.
