Daily concatenated files of ceilometer cloud base height and aerosol profile data from Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI)'s Lufft CHM15k "Nimbus" deployed at Amsterdam Ap Schiphol, Netherlands.

These data were produced by the EUMETNET's E-PROFILE processing hub as part of the ceilometer and lidar network operated as part of the by EUMETNET members. This network covers most of Europe with additional sites worldwide.

The site has a corresponding WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS) id: 0-20000-0-06240.

See online documentation for link to station details in the Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review (OSCAR) Tool. Note: this WIGOS ID is shared by 4 instruments located at the site. Data from the 4 instruments use one shared value for latitude and longitude:

Latitude: 52.317008972168 N

Longitude: 4.80366992950439 E
