| Preferred Label | Vaisala CL31 Ceilometer for Cloud Height Detection |
| Definition | A fully automatic ceilometer for cloud base height and vertical visibility measurements for use in aviation and meteorological applications. The CL31 detects three cloud layers simultaneously using pulsed diode laser LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology. The CL31 beam can be directed either vertically or tilted. In the measurement unit, a tilt angle sensor automatically corrects the measured cloud distance reading to vertical cloud base height. The CL31 has a measurement range of 0 to 7.6 km and a reporting resolution of 5m. |
