Retrieval of cloud droplet size distribution parameters from polarized reflectance measurements

We present an algorithm for retrieval of cloud droplet size distribution parameters (effective radius and variance) from the Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP) measurements. The RSP is an airborne prototype for the Aerosol Polarimetery Sensor (APS), which is due to be launched as part of the NASA G...
