UAH MIPS Ceilometer Data

This data set contains vertical profiles of backscatter and cloud base height at 15 second temporal resolution from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) ceilometer during the 2017 VORTEX-SE field season. The ceilometer is part of the UAH Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS). The data are in an ASCII format. The data set also includes quicklook imagery.
