1.Product introduction of Ceilometer

Cloud Height Ceilometers use laser emission source measurement and can be used to detect the spatial and temporal distribution of clouds and other aerosols, cloud base height, cloud thickness, etc.The ceilometer is a handheld smart device that monitors cloud base height, cloud layer thickness, and solid target distance, and displays the measurement results in real time.It can be used for manual single measurement or automatic continuous operation.

2.Application fields of ceilometer

This equipment can be widely used in cloud observation and research, aviation and navigation meteorological support, military meteorological support, silhouette rocket rain enhancement operations, etc.

3.Working principle of ceilometer

The equipment is based on the principle of laser ranging.The laser transmitter emits periodic laser pulses into the atmosphere.The laser receiver receives the backscattered signals from clouds and the atmosphere.The processor collects and processes the received signals.After inversion calculations, each component is obtained.The extinction coefficient of the height atmosphere is used to determine the cloud layer and calculate the cloud base height value.

4.Functional features of ceilometer

The device can measure cloud base height or solid target distance either vertically or tilted.It is small in size, light in weight, not limited by station space conditions, and is flexible in measurement and use.The device has a built-in lithium battery, and the observation data can be displayed on the LCD screen in real time and stored inside the device for easy reading and analysis in the future.The ergonomic design allows for temporary hand-held observation, or it can be mounted on a tripod for long-term continuous observation.

3.Equipment functions

Can measure cloud base height, cloud layer thickness, and solid target distance

Can measure the elevation angle, slant range, horizontal distance and height of the target

It has a built-in real-time display function that can display the elevation angle, slant distance, horizontal distance, altitude information, cloud base height, cloud layer thickness, host fault code and important equipment operating parameters of the measurement target.

With self-test function, the device can automatically detect its internal important parameters

Data storage and query function.The device has the function of storing data internally.It can continuously store data for at least the last 24 hours.External devices can query and read the data stored inside the device through the communication interface.

Parameter settings and power-off save function.The device accepts parameter settings and has a power-off save function.
