Dual Lens Laser Ceilometer

Aviation-grade dual lens LIDAR ceilometer for accurate cloud height, cloud layer thickness and vertical visibility measurement in AWOS and airport meteorological systems.

Typical Applications

  • Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS)
  • Airport cloud height monitoring
  • Aviation meteorological stations
  • Vertical visibility measurement
  • Cloud layer detection
  • Meteorological and atmospheric research

The Dual Lens Laser Ceilometer provides accurate cloud base height, cloud layer thickness and vertical visibility measurements for aviation weather monitoring and Automated Weather Observing Systems (AWOS). Using LIDAR technology and advanced signal processing, the aviation-grade ceilometer can detect up to four cloud layers simultaneously and is available in 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft measurement configurations for airport meteorology and professional atmospheric observation.

Key Features

  • Aviation-grade LIDAR cloud measurement
  • Measures cloud height, layer thickness and vertical visibility
  • Detects up to four cloud layers simultaneously
  • 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft measurement options
  • Reliable operation during demanding weather conditions
  • Rugged IP66 / NEMA 4X enclosure
  • Integrated self-diagnostics and factory calibration
  • Heater/blower support for snow and ice conditions

The angled external lens and heater/blower system help limit snow, ice and debris accumulation on the optical path, supporting reliable cloud measurements during severe weather.
