The geographical distribution of the probabilities of high clouds above 500 hPa in each season computed from VAS and HIRS are presented in Figure C1. The cloud cover patterns are similar. The geographical distribution of cloud reports from HIRS is similar to that from VAS, especially when a small VAS view angle is maintained. T refers to the corresponding infrared optical depth.
