SkyVUETMPRO LIDAR Ceilometer SkyVUETMPRO 10 km Ceiling LIDAR Ceilometer Cloud measurement with advanced signal processing Overview The SkyVUE™PRO LIDAR ceilometer measures cloud height and vertical visibility for meteorological and aviation applications and is ideal for long term research applications where a high level of detail is required. With an operational reporting range of 10 km, the SkyVUE™PRO is easy to use yet boasts advanced signal processing and unique optical arrangements to provide superior resolution and performance. Its robust construction is ideal for long-term installations as it requires minimal maintenance and features a unique stratocumulus calibration procedure allowing the ceilometer to be calibrated in the field. The SkyVUE™PRO has many standard features, from a tilting base and two-axis inclinometer for automatic correction of cloud heights to heaters, blowers and sun filter for operation under all conditions, making deployments possible around the world. The SkyVUE™PRO complies with CAA, WMO and ICAO guidance and meets or exceeds all recommendations and specifications, including CAP437, CAP670, and CAP746. Unique standard features include an easy-to-operate Stratocumulus calibration, long-life back-up battery and twin clocks to augment its many continuous diagnostic self-checks, to provide assurance of continuous, reliable and accurate performance. Benefits and Features Single lens design for high signal-to-noise ratio, maximized detector sensitivity, resulting in greater performance at low and high altitudes Operational range of 10 km High performance and high specification at a competitive price Tilt angles to 24°, improving performance during precipitation events and reducing impact of solar glare Three year extended warranty available on this product Unique continuous comparison of two separate internal quartz clocks to ensure measurement confidence Mixing layer height assessment option for air quality applications User-friendly stratocumulus calibration capability and easy test with a calibrator plate provided as standard, means the unit can be easily field calibrated

Technical Description The SkyVUE™PRO LIDAR ceilometer measures cloud height and vertical visibility for meteorological and aviation applications or long term research applications where a high level of detail is required. Using LIDAR (LIght detection And Ranging) technology, the instrument transmits fast, low-power laser pulses into the atmosphere and detects back-scattered returns from clouds and aerosols above the instrument. A unique, efficient single lens design increases optical signalto-noise ratio allows for larger optics in a compact package improving accuracy and measurement...
