Subject:
TWP/VCEIL/C2 - optical cross-talk compensation
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC2.b1
Description:
The ceilometer gave frequent optical cross-talk compensation warnings, was insensitive to 
high clouds, and the tropics window was deteriorated. The instrument was replaced with a 
spare.
Measurements:twpvceil25kC2.b1:
  • Aerosol backscatter coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
  • Vertical visibility(vertical_visibility)
  • Altitude of highest signal(alt_highest_signal)
  • Third cloud base height(third_cbh)
  • Second lowest cloud base height(second_cbh)
  • Millivolts at internal ADC input(window_contamination)
