Seasonal variability of upwelling radiance polarization over theSouthern Baltic surface
Year: 2017

Abstract. Polarization of light may be used to improve the remote colour sensing of sea water. This can be done in a number of ways, such as limiting of sun glints, obtaining information about atmospheric aerosol properties for atmospheric correction as well as improving the interpretation of the water-leaving signal results. However polarization signals at the top of atmosphere (ToA), that include the waterleaving signal, is strongly influenced by atmospheric molecular scattering and by direct
