A laser ceilometer is a meteorological monitoring device based on LiDAR technology. It precisely measures cloud base height,cloud layer thickness,multi-layer cloud distribution,and vertical visibility by emitting laser pulses and calculating their round-trip time.It is widely used in meteorological observation,aviation weather support,marine weather support,military weather support,environmental monitoring,weather modification,and other fields,providing reliable meteorological data support for various industries.
Jioptics STA-LC Series Laser Ceilometers employ advanced Mie-scattering LiDAR technology and are specifically designed to precisely measure cloud height,cloud layer thickness,integrated cloud amount,and vertical visibility. Among them, the LC56 model can simultaneously detect up to five cloud layers with a maximum range of 15,000 m (49,210 ft), while the LC57 model is a portable handheld cloud height meter device capable of detecting up to three cloud layers with a maximum range of 10,000 m (32,800 ft). Featuring high-precision LiDAR technology, this series is well-suited for demanding applications including meteorological/climate monitoring, airport aviation weather support, cloud forecasting for solar/new energy power plants,marine/shipborne meteorological observation,as well as environmental monitoring and scientific research.
The STA-LC56/LC57 ceilometer have been certified by the China Meteorological Administration, with their performance specifications,environmental adaptability,and measurement accuracy fully complying with the requirements of meteorological observation standards.The reliable measurement data and stable operation provide trustworthy monitoring assurance for meteorological observation services.
