a-b Comparison of \(\overline{{\beta_{Town}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\beta_{Town}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\), \(\overline{{\beta_{Ocean}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\beta_{Ocean}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\). The blue (orange) dots are BSC points at different altitudes in Town (Ocean) of A2P and CALIOP; c-d Comparison of \(\overline{{\alpha_{Town}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\alpha_{Town}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\), \(\overline{{\alpha_{Ocean}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\alpha_{Ocean}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\). The blue (orange) dots are EC points at different altitudes in Town (Ocean) of A2P and CALIOP; e–f Comparison of \(\overline{{\beta_{Cloud}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\beta_{Cloud}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\),\(\overline{{\beta_{Aerosol}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\beta_{Aerosol}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\). The blue (orange) dots are BSC points at different altitudes in Cloud (Aerosol) of A2P and CALIOP; g-h Comparison of \(\overline{{\alpha_{Cloud}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\alpha_{Cloud}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\), \(\overline{{\alpha_{Aerosol}^{A2P} }} \left( z \right)\)&\(\overline{{\alpha_{Aerosol}^{CALIOP} }} \left( z \right)\). The blue (orange) dots are EC points at different altitudes in Town (Ocean) of A2P and CALIOP
