NCAR/EOL ISS Ceilometer Data (ISS2 Rogers Farm Site)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/561.006

Summary
This dataset contains Ceilometer data collected by the NCAR/EOL Integrated
Sounding System (ISS) located at the Rogers Farm site east of Lincoln, NE
during the GRAINEX field campaign. This dataset includes raw ceilometer data
in ASCII text format, L3 netCDF, as well as plots of the data in png format.
These data have been reviewed for completeness and quality. Regarding
documentation for the GRAINEX 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.
