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

The aim of this review is to consider optical characteristics of terrestrial clouds. Both single
and multiple light-scattering properties of water clouds are studied. The numerous results …

Polarized Light and Optical Systems presents polarization optics for undergraduate and
graduate students in a way which makes classroom teaching relevant to current issues in …

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 …

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 …

This research volume outlines the scientific foundations that are central to our current
understanding of light scattering, absorption and polarization processes involving ice …

We outline the methodology of interpreting channels 1 and 2 Advanced Very High
Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) radiance data over the oceans and describe a detailed …

Atmospheric aerosol is a suspension of liquid and solid particles, with radii varying from a
few nm to larger than 100 μm, in air. The particles can be directly emitted into the …

The total effect of aerosols, both directly and on cloud properties, remains the biggest source
of uncertainty in anthropogenic radiative forcing on the climate. Correct characterization of …

We present an optimal-estimation-based retrieval framework, the microphysical aerosol
properties from polarimetry (MAPP) algorithm, designed for simultaneous retrieval of aerosol …
