Raymetrics Cloud Base
A whole new dimension in Aviation and Meteorology 

Cloud base height is measured using ceilometers, these are low spec LIDAR systems

Ceilometers constitute a reliable instrumental method for sounding the atmosphere and describing cloudiness. The measure accurately cloud base height (CBH), cloud cover, and even cloud vertical structure

Each runway often has more than one ceilometer

RAYMETRICS

3D Scanning LIDARs
can also provide

Incoming cloud base for near-future forecasting
Total cloud cover
3D cloud base (in case cloud is not directly above ceilometer)
Excellent range (up to 15km with good SNR)
Particle distinction (dust, volcanic ash, ice/water clouds, smoke, etc)
Remote visibility / fog detection

Truly accurate remote detection capability

Whether it is the critical information on the state of the atmosphere over the airport or the need to detect early incoming phenomena like fog, Raymetrics can supply you with the best remote sensing technology. Combining a decade of innovative development, providing products customized to various environmental conditions, Raymetrics 3D Ceilometer provides increased safety and efficiency of air operations

A whole new dimension in Aviation Meteorology

Clouds are very important for the climate. It is challenging to determine their behaviour and their contribution to climate change. This necessitates the improvement of methods for automatic and continuous description of cloud characteristics
Introducing the revolution in remote observation on the atmosphere (clouds, volcanic ash, etc), the Raymetrics 3D Ceilometer is designed to work as a visual radar, as well as to deliver records of the radiation that is backscattered in the components of the atmosphere (molecules, aerosols, clouds, etc.)
