Abstract

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 2016 VORTEX-SE field season. The ceilometer is part of the UAH Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS). Data were collected for VORTEX-SE 2016 IOP1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D and are in an ASCII format.
