Ceilometer

The Ceilometer instrument is backed by the CL61 depolarization lidar Zarr and is presented as a height-time plot in the interactive dashboard.

Interactive behavior

  • interactive tab shows recent windows from the CL61 Zarr
  • latest-product generation also writes recent static products used elsewhere
  • availability and freshness indicators reflect the selected time window

Quicklooks

  • science quicklooks show archived daily CL61 products
  • housekeeping quicklooks include HK_Ceilometer, which focuses on non-science diagnostics rather than the main backscatter/depolarization fields

HK_Ceilometer currently groups:

  • sample cadence
  • receiver gain and backscatter signal diagnostics
  • tilt, height offset, and tilt-correction state
  • precipitation, fog, and total-cloud-cover flags
  • vertical visibility
