Effective aerosol optical parameters from polarimeter measurements
Abstract
The theory underlying the interpretation of polarimeter measurements is described. The assumptions of the model are carefully stated so that the results obtained from the ground-based experiment can be understood without ambiguity. The meteorological significance of the parameters is also deduced. With a satellite-borne polarimeter that monitors the upwelling radiation field, the effect of the ground must be taken into account in order to obtain the aerosol parameters. Two methods that hold promise are described.
