-    i.e. one vertical and two tilted beams in eastern and western direction to derive instantaneous local wind profiles +  * Directly followed by a 3 beam VAD (VAD-3) (12×14sec/hour=2min48sec/hour), i.e. three tilted beams in at 0, 120 and 240 deg azimuth and 30deg zenith distance to derive instantaneous local wind profiles 
-    directly followed by a 3 beam VAD (VAD-3) (12×14sec/hour=2min48sec/hour) +  * Every 15 minutes a velocity azimuth display scan (VAD-36) (4×124sec/hour=8min16sec), i.e. a conical scan at 75oelevation to derive area averaged wind profiles 
-    i.e. three tilted beams in at 0, 120 and 240 deg azimuth and 30deg zenith distance to derive instantaneous local wind profiles +  * Every 60 minutes a range height indicator (RHI) (1×104sec/hour=1min44sec/hour), i.e. a vertical section from east to west with 5deg elevation steps (37beams) 
-    every 15 minutes a velocity azimuth display scan (VAD-36) (4×124sec/hour=8min16sec) +  * The rest of the time is vertical staring, i.e. vertical staring is interrupted every 5 minutes and sums up to 47minutes/hour

-===== Composite products using data from Ceilometer ===== 
-  * **Cloudnet target classification** uses cloud base height observations from the CT25K-Ceilometer. Combined with cloud radar and microwave radiometer observation, clouds are characterized by their geometrical extent as well as their microphysical properties. Data are available via [[https://cloudnet.fmi.fi/|ACTRIS cloudnet website]]
