WHAT DOES CEILOMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ceilometer

A ceilometer is a device that uses a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud base. Ceilometers can also be used to measure the aerosol concentration within the atmosphere. They can sometimes be fatal to birds, as the animals become caught in lightbeams and suffer exhaustion and collisions with other birds. In the worst recorded ceilometer non-laser lightbeam kill-off, approximately 50,000 birds from 53 different species died at the Warner Robins Air Force Base in the United States during one night in 1954.
