Met Office LIDARNET Lossiemouth Vaisala CL31 ceilometer cloud base and backscatter data

Cloud base and backscatter data from the Met Office's Lossiemouth Cl31 ceilometer located at Lossiemouth, North East Scotland. The Met Office's laser cloud base recorders network (LCBRs), or ceilometers, returns a range of products for use in forecasting and hazard detection. The backscatter profiles can allow detection of aerosol species such as volcanic ash where suitable instrumentation is deployed.
