What's in it

This dataset contains backscatter profiles from the CHM15k ceilometer, a single-wavelength, automatic operating at 1064 nm. It includes daily uncalibrated, unvalidated data reported by the instrument at five sites: Cabauw, De Kooy Airport, Groningen Airport Eelde, Maastricht Airport and Vlissingen. Retrieved cloud base heights up to 3 layers, sky condition information and aerosol layer height, based on manufacturer algorithms are included. Vertical resolution: 10 m, time resolution: 12 s.
