Mexican Navy SEMAR R/V Altair Ceilometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.277

Summary
There are many different types of files included in this dataset. The .zip
files contain the raw data from the ceilometer in daily files. This includes
codes for cloud base heights, housekeeping information, and the profile of
backscatter intensity. The .asc files are daily files of the cloud height
information. The ceiliometer images are daily jpegs of time-ht cross sections
of the backscatter and can be used as references to look at clouds on a daily
basis. The altair_leg1_report.pdf report applies only to Leg 1 of the NAME04
Altair cruise. No such report exists for leg2.
