Cloud base recorder,with its cover removed. Also called a ceilometer,this device typically uses a laser or other optical source to measure the height of overhead clouds. Optical models use triangulation of light reflected from the clouds,while laser models detected scattered light from a laser beam projected upwards. This is a Mark 5 cloud base recorder. The data gathered is used by the Met Office,the UK's national weather monitoring and forecasting service. Photographed at the Met Office facilities in Beaufort Park,Bracknell,UK | |
