These years coincided with the occurrence of the El Niño episode that started in the first quarter of 1997 and ended in the first half of 1998. From the lidar data gathered during this time interval, the optical depth of clouds was measured using Klett’s algorithm [1]. The results showed that the computed average cloud optical depth values in 1998 were 7% to 76% smaller compared to 1997 values. The smaller values can be deduced as the effect of the El Niño event based on the rainfall rate and southern oscillation index (SOI) data.
