ScanPol polarimeter calibration model, 2018

The scan mirrors and calibration units layout of the ScanPol instrument: red segment - scan mirrors; blue element - quarts wedges of the depolarization unit; green element - the Glan prism polarizer unit, black element is the dark unit; solar calibration unit seen at βs angle. Scanning directions along-track between scan angle βm1 = +50° and βm2 = –60° from nadir (βnadir).
