and open ocean conditions to study aerosol and water column properties and investigate
the possibility of using a multi-spectral, hyper-angular imaging polarimeter for retrieving
aerosol and hydrosol optical properties. The instrument, the Versatile Imager for the Coastal
Ocean (VICO), is used to support the analysis of ocean color polarized observations and
their implication for future space-borne polarimetry such as the polarimeters planned to be …
