Abstract

Daily concatenated files of ceilometer cloud base height and aerosol profile data from National Institute for Research and Development in Optoelectronics (INOE 2000)'s Lufft CHM15k "Nimbus" deployed at Magurele Rado, Romania.

These data were produced by the EUMETNET's E-PROFILE processing hub as part of the ceilometer and lidar network operated as part of the by EUMETNET members. This network covers most of Europe with additional sites worldwide.

The site has a corresponding WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) id: 0-20008-0-INO.

Previously used record identifiers:
No related previous identifiers.
Access rules:
Access to these data is available to any registered CEDA user. Please Login or Register for an account to gain access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence: https://artefacts.ceda.ac.uk/licences/cuncgl. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

Data were collected by instrument and transmitted to the central E-PROFILE processing hub at the UK's Met Office before preparation and delivery to the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA). CEDA then produces daily concatenated files before ingestion into the CEDA Archive.
