Description

The BOREAS TF-08 team used ceilometers to collect data on the fraction of the sky covered with clouds and the cloud height. Included with these data is the surface-based lifting condensation level, derived from temperature and humidity values acquired at the flux tower at the NSA-OJP site. Ceilometer data were collected at the NSA-OJP site in 1994 and at the NSA-OJP and SSA-OBS sites in 1996.
