TEAMx-PC22 (TEAMx pre-campaing 2022) – GeoSphere Austria ceilometer data

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.geosphere.at/">GeoSpere Austria</a> is running operationally a ceilometer (<a href="https://www.vaisala.com/en/products/weather-environmental-sensors/ceilometers-CL31-CL51-meteorology">Vaisala CL51</a>) next to the <a href="https://oscar.wmo.int/surface//index.html#/search/station/stationReportDetails/0-20000-0-11130">meteorological station at Kufstein</a>, Austria. Ceilometer data collected during the TEAMx pre-campaign 2022 (TEAMx-PC22) are provided here. Standard meteorological data is available on the <a href="https://data.hub.geosphere.at/">GeoSphere Austria data hub</a>.</p> <p>The aim of TEAMx-PC22 was to test new instruments, new instrument configurations and new measurement sites to support the planning of the main TEAMx observational campaign (TOC) in 2024/2025.
