MP2 UAH MIPS Ceilometer Data

This data set contains backscatter profiles and cloud data from the ceilometer that was on-board the PECAN Mobile PISA 2 University of Alabama-Huntsville MIPS vehicle. The measurements are in an ASCII format and from locations around the central United States for most of the PECAN IOPs and UFOs from 1 June to 16 July 2015.
