Daily concatenated files of ceilometer cloud base height and aerosol profile data from La Agencia Estatal de Meteorología (AEMET)'s Vaisala CL51 deployed at Tenerife Santa Cruz, Spain. 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: 0-20000-0-60022. Details for this WIGOS station are presently unavailable in the Observing Systems Capability Analysis and Review (OSCAR) Tool. EUMETNET is a grouping of 31 European National Meteorological Services that provides a framework to organise co-operative programmes between its Members in the various fields of basic meteorological activities. One such programme is the EUMETNET Profiling Programme: E-PROFILE. See EUMETNET page linked from this record for further details of EUMETNET's activities.

A global configuration provides the large-scale weather forecast and also supports the nested higher resolution regional models with boundary data. More detailed short-range forecasts are provided by these high-resolution models which are able to represent certain atmospheric processes more accurately, as well as having a more detailed representation of surface features such as coastlines and orography. This dataset contains UK atmospheric high resolution data from the UK Met Office operational NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction) Unified Model (UM). A post-processed regional downscaled configuration of the Unified Model, covering the UK and Ireland, is used with hourly forecast data covering the period T+0 to T+120 hours is used. With a resolution of approximately 0.018 degrees are able to produce hourly data at surface level and at standard pressure levels up to eight times a day. The model’s initial state is kept close to the real atmosphere using incremental 3D-Var data assimilation. This archive currently holds data from April 2016 onwards. An issue has been identified with the representation of the Transverse Mercator projection in the GRIB files in which some of the projection metadata values were set incorrectly. This error has been corrected in all data since 15th Jan 2020. The values that were corrected are as follows: Up to 15/01/2020: Source of Grid Definition: 12 Latitude of True Origin: 49 Longitude of True Origin: -2 From 15/01/2020: Source of Grid Definition: 0 Latitude of True Origin: 49.0e06 Longitude of True Origin: -2.0e06

Cloud base and backscatter data from the Met Office's Wattisham Cl31 ceilometer located at Wattisham, Suffolk. The Met Office's laser cloud base recorders network (LCBRs), or ceilometers, returns a range of products for use in forecasting and hazard detection. The backscatter profiles can allow detection of aerosol species such as volcanic ash where suitable instrumentation is deployed.
