NCAR/EOL ISS Ceilometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/592.008

Summary
Ceilometer data collected by the NCAR/EOL Integrated Sounding System (ISS)
located at the Park Falls, Wisconsin site during the CHEESEHEAD field
campaign. Raw ceilometer data are provided in both ASCII format and L3 netCDF
files that include cloud and boundary layer analysis, as well as plots of the
L3 data. These data have been reviewed for completeness and quality. Regarding
documentation for the Ceilometer ASCII data: Documentation for the ASCII raw
data files can be found in the Vaisala Ceilometer CL51 Users Guide (refer to
page 60 CL51 data message section). Link to the document is found in the
Documentation section below.
