Step 2 - Matching Ceilometer Data to the Webcam Location

Step two was to match ceiling data with each webcam image and its corresponding location, so that in later steps, the MLA could identify ceiling height from the camera image.

Two types of ceilometer data were found. The first is METAR data, which is sourced from the Aviation Weather Center (https://aviationweather.gov/data/metar/), as well as from Metar-Taf (https://metar-taf.com/). The second source comes from a website called the Unified Ceilometer Network (https://ucn-portal.org/sites), which provides the user with a 24 hour plot of ceiling height for a given location across the U.S.
