Handheld laser cloud height meter

1、 Product Introduction

YG2Handheld laser cloud height meterIt is an intelligent device that handheld monitors cloud base height, cloud layer thickness, and solid target distance, and displays measurement results in real time. It can be manually measured once or automatically operated continuously.

2、 Application Fields

This device can be widely used in cloud observation and research, aviation and navigation meteorological support, military meteorological support, and shadow rocket rain enhancement operations.

3、 Working principle

According to the principle of laser ranging, the device emits periodic laser pulses into the atmosphere from the laser transmitter. The laser receiver receives the backscatter signals from the cloud layer and atmosphere, and the processor collects and processes the received signals. After inversion, the extinction coefficients of the atmosphere at different heights are obtained to determine the cloud layer and calculate the cloud base height value.

4、 Functional Features

This device can measure cloud base height or solid target distance vertically or obliquely. Small size, light weight, not limited by station space conditions, flexible measurement and use. The device is equipped with a built-in lithium battery, and observation data can be displayed in real-time on the LCD screen and stored inside the device for easy reading and data analysis in the future. Ergonomic design allows for temporary handheld observation or installation on a tripod for long-term continuous observation.
