Provides Slant Visual Range (SVR) – more accurate reflection of pilot’s visibility compared to Runway Visual Range (RVR)
Provides 3D cloud base (total ceiling) instead of cloud height at a single point like a ceilometer (which is a basic LIDAR)
Remotely detects incoming fog banks and indicates time of arrival – function not provided by current equipment helping forecasters for early warning scenarios
