Laser Ceilometer

Detailed product introduction and technical parameters

1、 Product Overview

YG1 typeLaser CeilometerIt is a backscattered lidar that uses the principle of rice scattering. The observation range can reach up to 12 kilometers, which can effectively measure aerosols, cloud height, cloud thickness, cloud cover, and vertical visibility. It can be applied to complex aerosol research or integrated into large observation networks, and is a representative solution of the highest technological level for the diverse needs in atmospheric research.

2、 Functional application

Aerosol vertical profile, cloud base height (5 layers), cloud layer thickness, vertical visibility, boundary layer height

Among them, the extended type has better performance for mixed layer measurement and aerosol research

3、 Working principle

According to the principle of Mie scattering, the presence of clouds in the direction of the optical path is determined by measuring the backscatter signal profile of the emitted infrared beam from the atmosphere. The cloud base height, cloud penetration thickness, aerosol extinction coefficient, atmospheric boundary layer height, and vertical visibility output are calculated. By establishing a time series of cloud base height, the cloud cover can be estimated statistically.

This device adopts advanced infrared laser remote sensing technology, with accurate measurement of cloud base height, rich data products, stable and reliable operation, and simple use and maintenance.
