In Section 3.1.1, 11^th line from the bottom of p. 10010, V(x) should be written as $V(x)=[\exp (k_2^2{\mu }_T^{-4}{\sigma }_T^2)-1]{(E(x)+1)}^2$.

In Section 3.2.3, second full paragraph on p. 10016, distributions of $B^{-1}(L)$ and $\Delta T$ omit the effect of the k ₂ coefficient. It should be written that $B^{-1}(L)~N(k_2{\mu }_y^{-1},k_2^2{\mu }_y^{-4}{\sigma }_y^2)$ and $\Delta T~N(k_2{\mu }_y^{-1}-{\mu }_{Tc},k_2^2{\mu }_y^{-4}{\sigma }_y^2+{\sigma }_{Tc}^2)$.

In Section 5, 4^th line from the bottom of p. 10025, “…appear in emission mode…” should be written as “…appear in absorption mode…”.

In Appendix A, scaling property of lognormal distributions, 1^st line of p. 10029, mean parameter $c+\mu$ should be written as $\ln c+\mu$.

In Appendix C, p. 10032, expression for V(z) should be written as $V(z)=E(z^2)-E{(z)}^2$.
