Distribution of absolute COT (a) and nCOT (b) for cases where the maximum cloud layer depth is 2.5 km. The data come from all four categories. The box-and-whisker plots show the 25 and 75% quartiles as the box, with the median value being the vertical line inside the box and outliers shown as dots. The diamond inside the box indicates the mean value (vertical vertices) and ±95% confidence interval (horizontal vertices) for the data. The number of observations is shown on the right vertical axis. Note that the highest bin in b only contains values of 1.0.
