Cloud Height Indicator Sensor
Give this one a try later!
-vertically pointing laser (LIDAR)
-similar to radar
-round trip time determines cloud height
define observation

raw weather data collected by some type of sensor
-in-situ: measured directly
-remote: measured indirectly
surface: human observers, ASOS, AWOS, LLWAS
upper air: rawinsondes, profilers, ACARS, satellite
radar: WSr-88d, TDWR
, satellite: geostationary, polar orbiting
-pilot reports
define pilot error
Give this one a try later!
-term used to describe the cause of an accident involving an airworthy
aircraft where the pilot is considered to be principally or partially
responsible
RADAR
Give this one a try later!
Radio Detection and Ranging
-detection of objects by radio electromaginetic wave (in pulses)
-energy is reflected by atmospheric phenomena
