TWP/VCEIL/C1 - Degraded Ceilometer Window
DataStreams:twpvceil25kC1.b1, twpvceil25kC1.a1
Description:
Data from the ceilometer during this period is suspect. From 10/28
until about 2/4 the instrument had a deteriorated window.  This
caused the ceilometer to only be able to see cloud heights up to
about 2 km.
Suggestions: 
Treat cloud heights as a lower bound and higher clouds as missing.
Measurements:twpvceil25kC1.a1:
  • Second lowest cloud base height(second_cbh)
  • Lowest cloud base height detected(first_cbh)
  • Third cloud base height(third_cbh)
  • Aerosol volume backscattering coefficient at 355 nm(backscatter)
