Figure 2, The aerosol optical thickness on August 14 (a) shows significant aerosol 
loading in contrast to June 26 (b). Note the addition of time dependent 
information on the abscissa including almucantar (A), principal plane(n), 
inversion (o or x) and Langley data (|). 
3.2.3. Sky Radiance Inversions. The almucantar window displays the four channel sky radiances 
as a function of scattering angle, volume size distribution from 0.1 to -3. (im, scattering phase function 
and a status table of the aerosol optical thickness and wavelength exponent computed from both direct sun 
and the aureole measurements (Fig 2). Additionally the spectral asymmetry factor is computed from the 
phase function. From the radiance data, a window may be opened with zoom capabilities which separates 
the four spectral sky radiance bands into single color coded bands allowing close inspection of the data. The 
program automatically checks the quality of the almucantar data by examining the symmetry of the
