Coming out of the clouds
Article Abstract:
Vaisala Oy in Finland has launched two new products to include to its already wide range of meteorological equipment. The CT 25K, which is its newest ceilometer, uses a pulsed-diode laser system with Lidar technology. It can find clouds, precipitation and other objects blocking the vision. It can also ascertain cloud heights and vertical visibility of as high as 25,000 ft, or 7.5 km. The optical design leads to precise measurement from zero height. The instrument is developed to be compact and relatively light. The CT 25K is located on a single-leg pedestal with a rotating shaft.
