Examples by instrument

Each type of instrument has different capabilities. Hence the type of information that can be obtained from each is somewhat different. The first set of examples illustrate these capabilities:

  • Ceilometer
  • VertiX
  • Scanning radar
  • UHF profiler
  • Bistatic receivers
