Figure 2.   Sample lookup table for March 11, 1993, relating the modeled MAS radiances - both solar and longwave - to the cloud thickness (h) and adiabatic fraction (f). The best fit of observed radiances to the tables yields h and f for a particular pixel. Legitimate values are those yielding an optical depth of approximately 128 or less.
