Development of an experiment for visible radiation measurements from a satellite
The inversion problem, I.E., determining the atmospheric turbidity from polarimetry of radiation emerging from the earth's atmosphere, is presented. A major theoretical advance was made by finding a successful approximation for the forward peak scattering of aerosols together with a simplified characterization of particle size distributions. An engineering model of a multibarreled photopolarimeter suitable for operation from a satellite was evaluated in laboratory and high altitude jet aircraft tests. Comparison of the data from flights over the Mexican desert with theoretical curves for a Rayleigh atmosphere with negligible turbidity is in agreement
Electromagnetic wave propagation in rain and polarization effects
This paper summarizes our study on microwave and millimeter-wave propagation in rain with special emphasis on the effects of polarization. Starting from a recount of our past findings, we will discuss developments with these and how they are connected with subsequent research
