Precise measurement of cloud height and visibility

Ceilometers are used in environments where knowledge of cloud height and visibility has a direct impact on safety and operational decisions. These include airports, maritime and offshore operations, mobile and tactical units, meteorological institutes, research facilities and motorways. In these settings, it is essential that measurements are stable, precise and available when conditions change.

Data for aviation, meteorology and critical operations

Eliasson has been developing weather observation systems since 1969 and is known for compact cloud height measurement solutions built to withstand harsh environments and weather conditions. Their proven quality is supported by high MTBF, EMC testing and laser classification testing by recognised institutes, among other measures. The result is a solution developed for long-term, reliable operation in professional applications.

Eliasson Cloud Ceilometer CBME80

Robust technology for demanding weather conditions

CBME80 Cloud Ceilometer is a compact, lightweight solution based on the LIDAR principle and developed for both fixed and mobile installations. The system measures cloud height with a range of up to 7,500 metres and can provide data on up to three cloud bases, vertical visibility, cloud amount, status and backscatter profile, among other parameters. This makes the solution suitable for applications where both real-time data and robust measurements are required.

More than just the sensor

The solution can be expanded with both a digital display and software for more detailed presentation, historical data and remote monitoring. Eliasson Digital Display BE360 is designed to display cloud height data from CBME80, while Cloud Presentation Suite provides access to real-time data, historical data, signal profiles and status messages in a more detailed user interface. This offers greater scope for monitoring, analysis and day-to-day use of the measurements.
