| Wind and weather data from the Joubin and Wauwerman Islands acquired between January 01 and March 11 2020. | his device measures cloud height using LIDAR. A pulsed light beam is directed vertically and the return signal is detected. Depending on the nature of that return, distinct cloud layers may be detected: lower, middle and upper. If there is no distinct return (due to fog, for instance), vertical visibility is reported. | Mesotech ceilometer, CBME80 |
