This object contains measurements and products from a Vaisala CL51 ceilometer located near the western shoreline of the Salton Sea, California. Daily data files are processed by the Vaisala BL View software and then combined to generate monthly files for permanent archiving. Included are level 2 (L2) backscatter profiles and level 3 (L3) derived products. More information on the CL51 and BL View software can be found in their respective manuals, which can be accessed from https://docs.vaisala.com/.
