Table 1
Cloud optical thicknesses b (at λ = 0.550 μm) from the MODIS/Aqua data from April 25, 2011.

| 0 < b < 1 | 0.5 | 0 < b < 1 | 0.5 |

| 20 ≤ b < 50 | 35 | 5 ≤ b < 10 | 7.5 |
| 50 ≤ b < 80 | 65 | 10 ≤ b < 20 | 15 |
Notes. To avoid having to include too many different values of b, we have binned the optical thicknesses as shown below. Ice clouds with b ≥ 20 are ignored.
