Figure 3.   An example of the optical depth and cloud thickness retrieved for two of the 150 MAS scenes processed. Each scene is 500x500 pixels or 25x25 km. The April 3, 1993 scene (top two images) has higher optical depth and cloud thickness, but lower cloud fraction, than the March 11, 1993 scene (bottom two images).
