Our instruments and intelligence are known as the gold standard for precisionand reliability. As a sustainability leader weenable meteorology professionals to betterunderstand, forecast and explain climatechange. We continue to channel our curiosityinto climate action and new ways of enablinga better planet for all.

Providing trusted weather observationsfor a sustainable future

Accurate, reliable high range clouddetection under almost any conditions

Fast, accurate cloud and visibilitydetection is crucial to creating preciseforecasting, situational awareness, andair quality reporting. Even when theweather is at its worst, Vaisala’s CL51captures the detailed cloud layer dataneeded to build precision simulationsof existing conditions, including cloudsabove 15km (49,200ft). After all, thequality of weather modeling is only asgood as the data you collect.

Key benefits：

Applications:

Reliable cloud detection and reporting fromlow-level clouds up to high-level cirrus clouds

Inputting cloud height and sky condition sourcedata for situationalawareness and numericalweather prediction models

Vertical profiling data to provide comprehensiveunderstanding of the atmosphere all the way upto 15km

Identifying the vertical extent of aerosollayers for reliable air quality monitoringand forecasting

Automatic monitoring of boundary layerstructures and verification of numerical weatherforecasting and dispersion models

Supporting air quality data processing systemsto study the interaction between pollutants andmeteorological factors
