Abstract

In this work, we present a retrieval framework to invert aerosol microphysical parameters using ground-based hyper-angular polarimetry of the full-sky dome. Measurements are acquired with Mantis, a custom polarimeter built for the NRL by Polaris Sensor Technologies. We compare and contrast our results with Tafkaa, an at-altitude method of atmospheric correction currently used by the NRL with data collected at the Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility. We discuss and analyze the technique in this complex near-coastal environment and compare the derivation of remote sensing reflectance from both techniques with that measured in-situ.
