A ceilometer measures the height of a cloud base or ceiling using a laser or another light source. Ceilometers can also be used to gauge the amount of aerosols in the air.
A laser-powered ceilometer is a kind of atmospheric LiIDAR (light detection and ranging) device. Several different types of ceilometers are used to measure cloud heights.
They all shoot a laser beam up into the sky through a hole in the top of the cover. If there is cloud above the ceilometer, the cloud particles will reflect some of the beam, bouncing it back to the ceilometer.
The LiIDAR scanner can be used to provide better, more realistic Augmented Reality experiences, but the scanner also adds a new function to the iPhone's Measure app.The LiIDAR scanner can be used to measure a person's height, just by holding the phone in front of the person.
Global LiIDAR ceilometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Vaisala launches first-of-its-kind Ceilometer CL61.The first-of-its-kind LiIDAR-based atmospheric measurement device provides atmospheric, cloud height, and mixing layer data with depolarization.
Vaisala, a global leader in weather, environmental, and industrial measurement, has announced the launch of Vaisala LiIDAR Ceilometer CL61, an unprecedented LiIDAR ceilometer that improves standard ceilometer reporting by leveraging depolarization technology, providing more refined and accurate data for greater situational awareness.
âWith todayâs constantly changing climate, meteorological organisations, environmental protection agencies, and airports need greater ceilometer performance to enable more accurate weather modelling,â said Samuli Hänninen, VP, Products and Technologies, Weather and Environment, Vaisala.
âOur state-of-the-art ceilometer breaks through the ceiling in this meteorological technology to deliver high-quality profiling data that provides the insights needed to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, understand icing conditions, and track particles such as smoke, volcanic ash, or sand plumes.â
Vaisala LiIDAR Ceilometer CL61 benefits include: More refined profiling data for deeper insights â The depolarization measurement capabilities enable accurate liquid/frozen differentiation, detection of dust, sand, and volcanic ash layers, and the ability to make short-term forecasts of precipitation.
Operative 24/7 in all weather and locations â Scientific research-grade instruments have limitations on conditions (e.g., they typically can only be used when it is not raining), but CL61 is operative 24/7 in all weather, providing constant data availability regardless of prevailing weather conditions, and fills coverage gaps in urban areas.
