| description abstract | A cloud simulation model that is based on a Monte Carlo method was developed for testing and designing automatic ceilometer systems. With this model, cloud plan views and profile views an generated for several different cloud layers. The statistical properties of the cloud layers are controlled by a number of parameters. The influence of these control parameters on the generated plan and profile views are described and illustrated. The model allows a wide variety of realistic cloud conditions to be simulated and has been implemented in the form of a computer program. This computer program is currently being used to investigate the performance of various designs of automatic ceilometer systems in regard to determining true cloud amounts and ceiling heights. | |
