Cloud Ceiling Height - ArcticNet 2010 - Southern Beaufort Sea
Raw backscatter data were collected from a Vasaila CT25K ceilometer. A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud base. Ceilometers can also be used to measure the aerosol concentration within the atmosphere. Sampling took place from in the Southern Beaufort Sea and the Amundsen Gulf (Canadian Arctic) during the ArcticNet / BP Partnership cruise onboard the CCGS Amundsen. Data were collected (1) during the ship transit, (2) set transects, (3) at several stations where we stayed 24 hours, and (4) at multi-day drift stations. The instrument was running continuously during the cruise, with only minor interruptions for maintenance activities.
