You can access real-time live data from the ceilometer.
As soon as you have connected BL-View to a ceilometer, BL-View starts to collect data that is based on the default parameters. BL-View collects the data even when you are not using BL-View. By default, BL-View processes the data according to the default rendering parameters.
You can create customized parameter sets. For these, BL-View stores the data when you have the plot open.
BL-View automatically stores the data to netCDF files.
-
The netCDF L1 data file contains level 1 (L1) data from the ceilometer.
-
The netCDF L2 data file contains level 2 (L2) data that has gone through the precalculation service and averaging.
-
The netCDF L3 data file contains level 3 (L3) data that has gone through the calculation service and includes all the data from the algorithms, including mixing layer height values and quality index data.
