Figure 38 CT25K Ceilometer
The CT25K laser ceilometer is a new generation general purpose
cloud height sensor. CT25 employs pulsed diode laser LIDAR (Light
Detection and Ranging) technology for detection of clouds,
precipitation and other obstructions to vision, and accurate
determination of cloud heights and vertical visibility.
The standard measurement range of CT25K extends up to 25 000 feet
(7.5 km) covering most heights where dense cloud appears. The
instrument is capable of reporting up to three cloud layers
simultaneously. It detects the cloud base reliably in fog, rain, snow,
and haze. If the cloud base is obscured, CT25K measures and reports
the vertical visibility.
Extensive internal monitoring is supported by a comprehensive set of
user commands that can be given locally or remotely. The internal
monitoring includes a sensor measuring the outgoing laser pulse
energy, a circuitry checking the receiver sensitivity, a sensor
monitoring window contamination and a sensor measuring the tilt
angle. These and other internal measurements are used by the
diagnostics software and the detection algorithm for maximum
reliability and ease of use.
