CHEESEHEAD: NCAR/EOL ISS Ceilometer Data

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.
