On the relationship between Stokes parameters Q and U of atmospheric ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared radiation
On the basis of both spaceborne measurements (Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances (POLDER)) and radiative transfer modeling, it is shown that the polarization of reflected solar light (300-900 nm) at the top of the atmosphere is most often perpendicular and less often pa...
