a–d, Measurements of M (a), E and W (b), C (c) and \({\mathcal{R}}\) (d), with filled symbols representing the 3-h scale and open symbols representing the 1-h scale. The vertical bars in a–c show the estimation uncertainty at the 3-h scale (see Methods section ‘Uncertainty estimation’). The \({\mathcal{R}}\) in d is shown for both the HALO (blue) and ATR (green) aircraft, with the ‘X’ markers representing the data points that are excluded in the correlations owing to inconsistent sampling of the mesoscale cloud patterns between the two aircraft. The campaign mean ± 1σ is shown on the left side of each panel.
