UAH MAPNet MIPS Ceilometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/626.025

Summary
Data from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Atmospheric
Profiling Network (MAPNet) Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) Vaisala
CL51 ceilometer that was deployed at locations around the southeastern United
States for the five PERiLS 2023 deployments. The PERiLS deployments were on
16-17 February, 3, 24-25, and 31 March and 1 and 5 April 2023. Measurements
include backscatter and cloud base heights at 15 second intervals.
