Professionals around the world trust in OTT HydroMet’s ceilometer series Lufft CHM. Thanks to its robust, stand-alone design and reliable measurement performance the Lufft CHM 8k and CHM 15k have become the instrument of choice of meteorologists at weather services, research institutes, and airports. ...
OTT HydroMet has supplied the German Weather Service DWD with 97 Lufft CHM?8k ceilometers for use at international airports in Germany. The order is worth around two million euros over two years. ...
The subsequent research efforts included the following activities: Tracking plumes of volcanic ash or dust through the atmosphere Understanding local air quality Providing warnings to air traffic controllers, meteorologists, and industrial sites related to aerosol events During the summer of 2012, using desert dust as a proxy, MF collected data provided by several LiDAR sensors and ...
So far they acquired two units of Lufft CHM 15k Ceilometers. One is deployed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi and the other at their Observatory in Solapur. ...
It is able to generate an atmospheric profile in real time, carried out by automatic Lidar ceilometers (ALC) installed throughout Italy. A database with measurement results from previous studies is also provided (yellow ALC symbols). ...
In the nineties, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute( KNMI) started automating the visual observations of present weather, visibility and clouds using automatic weather stations with dedicated optical sensors. For cloud observations, ceilometers were purchased and deployed in the measurement network on a 24/7 operational ...
“The MiniMPL has a better signal-to-noise ratio than other instruments, such as ceilometers, which improves our derivation of PBL height,” explained Leifer. ...
It really comes down to a choice between the traditional analog technology used in ceilometers ad the more recent advanced technology found in Micro Pulse LiDAR (MPL) sensors. To select the best tool for your needs, keep in mind the following differences between MPL and ceilometers. Sensitivity: The most important distinction is the massive gulf in ...
They are both equipped with an integrated controller offering a fully embedded real-time calculation of all target parameters and comfortable user interfaces. The Lufft ceilometer series is prepared to work throughout the year and in any climate. Due to the double case structure combined with a window blower and an automatic heating system, the ceilometers are ...
The CHM8k is ready to conquer the market. The new ceilometer has a maximum range of 8 km, but is in no way inferior to its “older brother” in terms of sensitivity. ...
The DWD installs more than 100 ceilometers over the upcoming years. The weather services use the ceilometers for different fields of application and supply corresponding customer groups with the collected measurement data. ...
But there’s more to discover: At the conferences, we also present an innovative snow height sensor, the new visibility sensor VS2k, our successfully established ceilometer CHM 15k as well as a choice of our renowned compact weather sensor family versions. ...
Through this we got one step closer to the realization of our ambitious target: to create the necessary conditions in order to support and enable the growth of the global operative and homogenous ceilometer network. The CHM Simulator consists of a sensor, a special template for the positioning of the simulator device, as well as an Android respectively iOS app with which you can ...
Observations include measurements of boundary layer winds using Atmospheric Systems’ 4000 Series minisodar; profiles of temperature, relative humidity, and liquid water from Radiometrics’ MP3000 microwave radiometer; cloud base heights and boundary layer heights collected using Vaisala’s CL-31 ceilometer; sea surface temperature; wave height and frequency; solar ...
A novel ceilometer validation is presented for a nocturnal elevated PM layer observed over Vancouver, British Columbia. ...
