Synopsis
A practical look at the Design and Operation of the Ceilometer Computer
The book explains how a transistorized, wired‑program machine converts ceilometer measurements into a clear display of cloud heights. It covers how a rotating beam ceilometer provides data, how the computer processes signals, and how ten minutes of cloud-height data are stored and analyzed.
The material describes the system’s key functions, including how it samples the ceilometer output, identifies the predominant cloud height, and tracks maximum and minimum heights. It also explains how data are summarized and presented, with options for manual testing and maintenance.- How the analog signal from the detector is converted and sampled in sync with the light source
- How the system determines the altitude number corresponding to cloud signals and stores results on a magnetic drum
- How the analysis identifies the most frequent height and the extremes up to a chosen critical altitude
- How manual testing modes and maintenance routines are integrated into operation
