INC 51754 Cloud Height Projector-Detector

The component of a CLOUD HEIGHT SET which projects visible light into the clouds and scans, measures, and amplifies reflected energy received back from the clouds. Used in determining the height of a cloud above the point of projection. For items which only project light see PROJECTOR, CLOUD HEIGHT. For items which only receive signals back from the clouds see DETECTOR, CLOUD HEIGHT.

Additional Information for Cloud Height Projector-Detector Additional Information for Cloud Height Projector-Detector

A Cloud Height Projector-Detector is a type of instrument used in meteorology to measure the height of clouds. It is classified under the supply class "Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus" in the supply group "Instruments And Laboratory Equipment."

Cloud Height Projector-Detectors typically consist of a light source, a projector, and a detector. The instrument works by projecting a beam of light upwards towards the cloud. The light beam is then reflected back to the detector, which measures the time it takes for the light to travel to the cloud and back. Based on this time measurement, the instrument can calculate the height of the cloud.

Cloud Height Projector-Detectors are commonly used in weather stations, airports, and research facilities to monitor cloud cover and gather data for weather forecasting and climate studies. They provide valuable information about cloud formations, cloud base heights, and cloud types, which are essential for understanding atmospheric conditions and predicting weather patterns.

These instruments are designed to be accurate, reliable, and easy to use. They are typically calibrated regularly to ensure precise measurements. Cloud Height Projector-Detectors are an important tool in meteorology and play a crucial role in understanding and predicting weather phenomena.
