Ceilometer CL31
DESCRIPTION
The Vaisala CL31 Ceilometer, is a commercial atmospheric LiDAR used to determine the height of cloud base, measure aerosol backscattering within the atmosphere, and investigate the structure of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL).
The ceilometer measures the atmospheric backscattering profile every 16 seconds up to an altitude of 7 km and with a spatial resolution of 10 m. The backscattering profile can be inverted to obtain the atmospheric extinction profile

Vaisala LT31 Transmissometer
DESCRIPTION
The Vaisala LT31 Transmissometer provides high accuracy measurements of ground-level visibility with a temporal resolution of 10 seconds. Visibility indicates the distance to which human visual perception is limited by atmospheric conditions. Transmissometers are instruments which derive visibility by measuring the light transmittance of the atmosphere.
