Advanced Radar Corporation
USA |
Advanced Radar Corporation
(ARC) offers the worlds most unique radars given our heritage, culture
and evolution from a premier atmospheric research organization, the
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). ARC radars can operate
polarimetrically and be used in investigations of cloud physics,
processes and evolution. The ARC product generation and display software creates and displays analysis products, including precipitation accumulation, QPE and Hydrometeor Particle Identification (HPID). HPID identifies the type of hydrometeors which comprise clouds and precipitation. The changes of HPID provides insight into cloud evolution. Technical specifications can be provided by contacting ARC at sales@advancedradarcorp.com or by visiting www.advancedradarcorp.com. |

Degreane Horizon
France |
The
TL320 provides the latest state-of-the-art technical development in
the field of laser source and signal processing. The second generation
of our Ceilometer range, the TL320 is designed to measure cloud base
height and vertical visibility, with unmatched performances and
reliability up to 25 000 feet.
The transmitter unit uses a pulsed Microchip Laser (LIDAR
technology),
where the wavelength is particularly suited to all weather conditions.
Short but powerful pulses are emitted from the instrument vertically (or
practically vertical depending on the angle of the tilting part of the
instrument) and the height of the clouds is then determined thanks to
the reception of light reflected from the clouds or rain. |

Droplet Measurement
Technologies United States of America |
DMT offers single-particle
optical spectrometers for measuring cloud properties from aircraft and
fog properties on the ground. These instruments measure droplet and ice
crystal size distributions from 0.5 μm to 6 mm.

JENOPTIK DEFENSE & CIVIL SYSTEMS
(ESW GMBH - SENSOR SYSTEMS). Germany |
ESW GmbH develops and
manufactures optoelectronic laser sensors for reliable and
cost-effective measurements in meteorological, industrial, traffic
monitoring and military applications. The CHM 15k ceilometers measure aerosol height profiles, cloud base heights, penetration depths, and vertical visibility. With an operating range up to 50.000 ft (15 km) it is the first ceilometer which reliably detects multi-cloud layers and high cirrus clouds. The low-maintenance sensor is designed to work autonomously at any climate and throughout the year. |

| LOGOTRONIC GmbH Austria |
Logotronic supplies a big variety of measuring stations. Small ones, stationary or mobile up to synoptic weather stations. The stations are highly scalable to the user requirements due to the modular system architecture. One measuring station for meteorology, hydrology, water quality and soil investigation. Nearly all common sensors can be connected via measuring interface modules. All stations can use telemetry modules for telephone, GSM, radio or Internet data transfer. | ||||

METEK GmbH |
Routine
monitoring of cloud characteristics plays a key role in the research
of cloud physics, in climatological studies, in pre-warning of icing
conditions in clouds. One of the METEK systems for the investigation
of such processes is the Cloud Radar MIRA-36. MIRA 36 is a Doppler radar based on a magnetron transmitter which provides a pulse power of 30 kW with an excellent pulse shape for pulses as short as 100 ns. The basic system can be delivered as stationary vertical looking device. Extensions provide the mobile operation and scanning unit. |

| RADIOMETRICS
CORPORATION
United States of America |
The MP-3000A Profiler provides liquid profiles up to 10 km height during all weather conditions, as well as cloud base temperature, cloud base height and liquid water path. Cloud liquid data are valuable for applications including quantitative precipitation forecasting, aviation weather, wind energy, air quality and weather modification. | ||||

| VAISALA
OYJ
Finland
|
Vaisala cloud height sensors (ceilometers) are used at airports and
automatic weather stations to provide the altitude of cloud bases or a
measure of vertical visibility in case of obscured sky. Time series of
ceilometer data can also be used to estimate cloud cover and cloud layer
heights, i.e. sky condition. Vaisala Ceilometers are backscatter LIDARs
(Light Detection and Ranging) based on semiconductor laser sources. |
