You can choose to view ceilometer data in BL-View in the Negative gradient view.

Use the negative gradient view for detailed analysis of the mixing height.

  1. In the Data panel, enable MLH data.
  2. In the Intensity panel, enable Intensity and select Negative gradient.

    The negative gradient view uses the following colors:

    • Red in the plot: strong signal decrease in clouds or precipitation
    • Light blue to yellow in the plot: negative gradient signal

The colors in the intensity legend indicate the intensity of the negative gradient signal in arbitrary internal units. This gives a better view on all local gradient minima than showing a gradient density plot.

Not all local gradient minima qualify as boundary layer heights.
