Which observation confirms the cloud base estimate?
Answer: A
A ceilometer determines the cloud base directly by timing a laser pulse reflected from the cloud, and its readings agree well with the lifting condensation level for convective cloud. A radiosonde gives the saturated layer but only twice a day. Satellite imagery sees the cloud top and radar sees the precipitation, so neither gives the base. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
