@tropos-de.bsky.social![Fig. 1: Scatterplots of layer-mean aerosol optical properties of the automatic versus manual profiles. Shown are the scatterplots for the backscatter coefficients at 355 (a), 532 (b), and 1064 nm (c) wavelength, the Ångström exponents for the 355/532 extinction (d), 355/532 backscatter (e), and 532/1064 nm backscatter wavelength pairs (f), the particle depolarization ratios at 355 (g) and 532 nm wavelength (h), the extinction coefficients at 355 (i) and 532 nm (j), and the lidar ratios at 355 (k) and 532 nm wavelength (l). N denotes the number of layer means. The least-square regression line (dashed magenta), the coefficient of determination (R2), the root-mean-square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), the mean bias error (MBE), and the identity line (solid black) are given.
