Description

The time-height plot of backscatter intensity in the troposphere (0-4 km) taken by the ceilometer at Shigaraki MU Observatory in Shiga Prefecture, Japan (34.86N, 136.11E, 385m MSL). The backscatter data with the intensity above some threshold level are plotted as a flesh color. The black dots show primary cloud base. File names are (year)(month)(day).gif. Local time (UT + 9h) is used for time data.
