Polarimetry and Physics of Solar System Bodies

  • Conference paper
Photopolarimetry in Remote Sensing

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ((NAII,volume 161))

Abstract

We present a historical review of polarimetric observations of planetary atmospheres, comets, atmosphereless solar system bodies, and terrestrial materials. We highlight the study of physical and optical parameters of planetary atmospheres. Polarimetric observations of the atmospheres of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have made it possible to determine the real part of the refractive index and the cumulative size distribution function for the constituent cloud layers. We describe a simple and reliable method of quantifying absorptive cloud layers of the giant planets and predict the vertical structure of aerosol layers of planetary atmospheres based on the analysis of observational spectropolarimetric data of contours of molecular absorption bands at the center of the planetary disk. The method is effective only when experimental data exist in a broad interval of phase angles. Using this method we can determine aerosol sizes in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune.
