Figure 1. (a) Plot of calibrated solar background light in lidar mea- mea-surements versus cloud optical depth at 523 nm wavelength and solar zenith angle (SZA) of 45 ◦ for cloud effective radius of 4, 8 and 16 µm
Figure 2. Histogram of β ct,1 km (the mean logarithm – with base 10 – lidar backscatter from the cloud top to 1 km above) and the corresponding cumulative probability (solid line) accounted from the larger end of β ct,1 km for clear sky at the ARM Oklahoma
Figure 3. (a) Attenuated backscatter signals from micropulse lidar on 19 April 2005. (b) Time series of cloud optical depth retrieved from a microwave radiometer (MWR), lidar solar background  sig-nals from micropulse lidar (MPL), AERONET cloud-mode  obser
Figure 6 shows histograms of 1 min averaged cloud op- op-tical depth and a scatter plot of retrievals from lidar solar background signals against those from flux measurements.
