cops_supv_mfceil: backscatter and cloudbase data from Ceilometer run by Meteo-France/CNRM during COPS 2007

Lavie, Franck; Bouttier, Francois

Dataset Group
Summary
Cloudbase in three heights from Meteo-France Ceilometer (TNL: Laser telemetry) at COPS-Supersite Vosges Mountains.
The period of permanent measurement was : 1st July - 31 July 2007
The measured parameters are the 3 heights of the 3 typical cloud bases every 15 seconds from a ceilometer, and the back scattering signal on 256 levels (15 meters between each). The altitude is from the sea level.
The operation was continuous, with a daily check.
Tje instrument was located near the village of Meistratzheim, 20 km south_westward of Strasbourg.
The platform on the site of Niederrott is installed just between 2 types of vegetation :
Maze on the west and short grass on the east part.
