Abstract

This paper focuses on how to determine an accurate aerosol model based on simulations of light scattering. Our algorithms come from an idea that aerosol characteristics can be estimated in terms of the scattering behavior. The correlation coefficients between measurements of atmospheric aerosols and the simulated values for model particles are used to retrieve aerosol characteristics. The space-borne data by Nimbus7-CZCS at a wavelength 0.67 μm and the photopolarimetric measurements of aerosols with a portable photopolarimeter (FPR2000) at wavelengths of 0.559, 0.662, and 0.811 μm are examined in this work. It is shown here that aerosol models are precisely determined by combining use of polarization measurements and radiance data.
