Notes. The values for the varied parameters for each observation of the best fit model determined by Eq. (3) and the most likely, optimal values (< x > with 1σ_x in parenthesis) for each Run by Eq. (6).

^(a)

See Sect. 5.3 about the 7° observations.

^(b)

Had thin cirrus clouds.

^(c)

Excluding the 90 and 110° observations.
