GEOMETRY OF MEASUREMENTSFIELD-of-VIEW MSIP and ScanPolTHE 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. |
