Abstract:
This dataset contains ceilometer-derived cloud base height detected at the Princess Elisabeth station, East Antarctica (71°57'S - 23°21'E) in 2012 using the polar threshold algorithm.
Dataset contains the data over one year, at 15 seconds resolution
product: cloud base height (in meters a.g.l.)
