The SkyVUEPRO LIDAR Ceilometer measures cloud height and vertical visibility for meteorological and aviation applications.
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.
The SkyVUEPRO complies with CAA and ICAO guidance and meets or exceeds all recommendations and specifications. (This includes CAP437, CAP670, and CAP746.)
Tilt capability to 24° allows the sensor to be operated anywhere in the world without the sun shining directly into the lens.
