Short summary

The optimal estimation formalism is applied to OSIRIS airborne high-resolution multi-angular measurements to retrieve COT and R_eff. The corresponding uncertainties related to measurement errors, which are up to 6 and 12 %, the non-retrieved parameters, which are less than 0.5 %, and the cloud model assumptions show that the heterogeneous vertical profiles and the 3D radiative transfer effects lead to average uncertainties of 5 and 4 % for COT and 13 and 9 % for R_eff.
