Figure 6a.- The SAAlSD ratio for KBIS is mostly wi1ihin a
factor of 2 of equivalence, with no obvious range bias.

Figure 6b.- The SAAlSD ratio for KABR shows much
noise and little if any range bias.

Figure 6c.-Most surface data for KMVX are at remClte
ranges and show a possible offset of the ratio from unity.

Figure 6d.-Most data for KMPX are within a factor of 3 of
unity with no obvious range bias.
