Shsg Falls Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Is there a online list available showing which airports currently have the NWS CL31 ceilometers installed and operational?

Reference: http://www.ofcm.gov/...20Meeting-2.pdf All of the NWS and FAA administered ASOS's are equipped at present. However, as noted, the "backward compatibility" allowing reporting of up to 12,000 feet is still in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so I should only expect that AWOS units may still have the 12K legacy ceilometer (although these two may be upgraded I suppose depending on the individual owner)? Also, is it possible that observers at service level A sites are using the data for cloud heights from 12,000 to 25,000 ft.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
