aThe boldface letters indicate that a comparison/validation/coordination was conducted: G denotes good degree of success; M denotes moderate or questionable degree of success. CALIPSO validation flights are indicated as day (D) or night (N); MODIS coincidences are indicated as over land (L) or water (W). Platform Abbreviations: RHB, Ronald H. Brown; P3, NOAA WP-3D; NTO, NOAA Twin Otter; CTO, CIRPAS Twin Otter.
