https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/626.017

Summary
Data from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Atmospheric
Profiling Network (MAPNet) Rapidly Deployable Profiling System (RaDAPS)
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.
