Proven by multiple theoretical and practical studies, multi-angular spectral polarimetry is
ideal for comprehensive retrieval of properties of aerosols. Furthermore, a large number of …

Polarimetry is one of the most promising types of remote sensing for improved
characterization of atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly …

The proposed development is an attempt to enhance aerosol retrieval by emphasizing
statistical optimization in inversion of advanced satellite observations. This optimization …

Abstract The POLDER (POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances)
instrument provides polarized reflectance measurements that can be used to distinguish …

We discuss the improvements in the aerosol properties characterization resulting from the
additional multi-wavelength polarization measurements measured by a new CIMEL …

We present a new approach to retrieve the aerosol properties over land that uses accurate
polarization measurements over a broad spectral (410–2250 nm) and angular (±60° from …

Abstract The Airborne Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (AirMSPI) has been flying
aboard the NASA ER‐2 high‐altitude aircraft since October 2010. In step‐and‐stare …

Accurate multi-spectral, multi-angle polarimetric measurements are a key remote sensing
tool for the determination of the burden and microphysical properties of atmospheric …

In this paper, we investigate the surface–atmosphere radiative interaction in application to
the problem of aerosol satellite remote sensing over land. First, we test different models of …

Abstract The Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC) is the first Chinese multi-angle
polarized earth observation satellite sensor, which will be launched onboard the GaoFen-5 …
