https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/637.008

Summary
Cloud base height and backscatter data from the University of
Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Atmospheric Profiling Network (MAPNet) Rapidly
Deployable Profiling System (RaDAPS) Vaisala CL51 ceilometer that was deployed
in Southern Illinois for the Detecting and Evaluating Low-level Tornado
Attributes (DELTA) campaign.

UAH RaDAPS was deployed only for IOP1 (27-28 February 2024) of the DELTA
campaign.
