Comparison of CALIOP performance metrics and those for variants of MODIS inversions. V1 changes the bbp slope used, V2 changes the acdm shape, V3 changes the assumed aph shape, and V4 is the GIOP result using Rrs data that were not corrected for Raman scattering. (a), (b) +/−3 h matchup data. (c), (d) +/−24 h matchup data. (a), (c) median percent error. (b), (d) relative bias (%). In all panels, black bar is CALIOP and purple bar is for MODIS using the optimum (default) configuration of the GIOP algorithm. Red vertical line separates results for this GIOP configuration from other inversion variants (v1, v2, v3, and v4—see Supplementary Text S2 and Table S1 for description of variants). CALIOP, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization; MODIS, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer; GIOP, generalized inherent optical properties.
