Short summary
We evaluate the performance of the Vaisala CL61 ceilometer, with depolarization ratio capability at 910 nm, over a three-year period at four locations. This study examines instrument performance over time, describes methods for correcting instrument bias and presents corresponding uncertainty estimates. As these instruments are being deployed across large research networks, our findings support stable instrument performance and the generation of reliable measurements and derived products.
