ICeNet

Iberian Ceilometer Network

ICeNet is a collaborative ceilometer network used for the characterization of atmospheric aerosol with the objective of obtaining reliable vertically resolved aerosol optical properties in near-real time. The first goal is obtaining the total attenuated backscatter for all ceilometers in the network, i.e., to obtain calibrated output from ceilometers, and the second one is applying an inversion algorithm to the ceilometer profiles in order to obtain the particle backscatter coefficient.
