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

Passive ocean color images have provided a sustained synoptic view of the distribution of
ocean optical properties and color and biogeochemical parameters for the past 20-plus …

The possibility of using shape mixtures of randomly oriented spheroids for modeling desert
dust aerosol light scattering is discussed. For reducing calculation time, look‐up tables were …

This volume provides a thorough treatment of multiple scattering of light and other
electromagnetic radiation in media composed of randomly and sparsely positioned particles …

Instruments dedicated to aerosol monitoring are recently available and the POLDER
(POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) instrument on board the …

Abstract SPEXone is a Multi-Angle Polarimeter instrument that is baselined to fly on the
NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, to be launched in …

The principal elements of the theory of polarized light transfer in planetary atmospheres are
expounded in a systematic but concise way. Basic concepts and practical methods are …

The Airborne Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (AirMSPI) is an eight-band (355, 380,
445, 470, 555, 660, 865, 935 nm) pushbroom camera, measuring polarization in the 470 …

We discuss the rationale for long-term monitoring of the global distribution of natural and
anthropogenic aerosols (black carbon, sulfates, mineral aerosols, etc.) and clouds with …

In order to make full use of the capability of satellite instruments that measure intensity and
polarization properties of reflected light at multiple viewing angles and multiple wavelengths …
