Cloud Heights Measured by Photo Eye in Daylight
Scientists at the Bureau of Standards have devised a daytime method to measure cloud height using a 1000 watt mercury lamp and a photoelectric eye. The system triangulates the height from the lamp projection and light scattering, detecting clouds up to 9,000 feet for dark overcasts and 4,000 feet for cumulus. The device aims to aid the weather bureau and aviators by determining ceiling and improving forecasts.
