Airborne Experiment Demonstration and Data Analysis for Multi-Angle Polarization Detection of Atmospheric Aerosols

Abstract

Abstract:

A combination of multi-angle polarization and radiation data can be more effectively improve the inversion precision of atmospheric aerosol parameters, so the airborne experiment is designed and completed to obtain multi-angle polarization and radiation data. The self-developed multi-angle directional polarized camera (DPC) is equipped on the aircraft, and sun-photometer CE318 is mounted at ground stations, then aviation flight experiment was carried out by designing aircraft’s course series ground stations. Processing of data obtained from airborne experiment, the results show that DPC on the aircraft can obtain high precision polarization and radiation data. The atmospheric aerosols optical depth is retrieved using the experiment data, and inversion error is less than 3%, which demonstrates validity of multi-angle polarization and radiation data from airborne experiment.

Key words: atmospheric aerosol, multi-angle directional polarized camera, Airborne Test, polarization reflectance, optical thickness
