WesCon: Cloud height measurements from the Met Office Vaisala CT25K Laser Ceilometer at Airfield Camp, Netheravon, v1.0 (20230426-20230919)

Cloud height measurements from the Met Office Vaisala CT25K Laser Ceilometer deployed at Netheravon, Wiltshire (51.241°N, -1.777°W, 120 m amsl) in southern England during the summer of 2023. Netheravon formed a supersite for the Wessex Summertime Convection Experiment (WesCon)/WesCon - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST) field campaign.

The CT25K Laser ceilometer is a general-purpose cloud height sensor employing LIDAR technology for detection of clouds, precipitation and other obstructions to vision. The CT25K provides reliable determination of cloud height up to 25,000 feet (7.5 km) thus covering most heights where dense clouds appear. It is designed to detect up to three possible cloud layers.
The Vaisala CT25K laser ceilometer measures cloud height-or vertical visibility if the cloud base is obscured. The single-lens design also ensures reliable measurements in fog, rain, snow and haze.

To ensure optimal traceability and transparency of data, comprehensive metadata is included.
