A method to retrieve super-thin cloud optical depth over ocean background with polarized sunlight
In this work, an algorithm that uses the polarization angle of the backscattered solar radiation to detect clouds with optical depth (OD) < ~ 0.3 is further developed. We find that at viewing angles within ± ∼ 8° around the backscattering direction, the <i>p</i>-polarized inte...
