Description

The time-height plot of backscatter intensity in the troposphere (0-7 km) taken by the ceilometer at Kototabang, Indonesia (0.20S, 100.32E, 865m MSL). The black dots show primary cloud base. The right panel is a height profile of 1-day average backscatter intensity. File names are (year)(month)(day).gif. Local time (UT + 7h) is used for time data.
