Left hand plot:Blue line = RH from sondeRed line = potential temperature - NOT TO SCALE – has been normalized to increase dynamic rangeThick solid black line = backscatter from CL31Thin dashed black line = backscatter from CT25KGrey dotted line = normalized relative backscatter from micropulse LIDARHorizontal lines = heights of features in potential temperature or RH from sondeHorizontal lines = heights of features in potential temperature or RH from sonde
Curtain plots: Color scales have been adjusted to maximize contrast of concentration gradients and are not
comparable from day-to-day or instrument-to-instrumentGreen dots are MLH calculated by Iowa algorithmWhite/red squares are MLH calculated by Vaisala algorithmq y gBlue/red circles are cloud layer height by Vaisala algorithmHorizontal lines show the heights of the features in the sonde plotVertical grey line is the height vs. time trace for the sondeNOTE: height scale changes between the lefthand plot and the curtain plots
