GEOMETRY OF MEASUREMENTS


FIELD-of-VIEW MSIP and ScanPol



THE ADVANTAGES OF AEROSOL-UA POLARIMETRY

::: Polarization is a relative measurement that can be made accurately + many scattering angles.


::: Polarimetric ScanPol measurements will be calibrated on the orbit.


::: Polarization change with scattering angle and wavelength gives microphyscs: size, refractive index and shape of aerosol.


::: Synergy of scanner and imager will produce new quality of data, hopefully different from similar aerosol missions.
