A new technique to find both real and imaginary index of refraction of atmospheric aerosols from clear sky radiance measurements.

A new iterative technique to find both the real and imaginary index of refraction of atmospheric aerosols has been developed which utilizes polarized sky radiance measurements in the solar principal plane. The technique requires that the aerosol size distribution, Rayleigh optical depth, aerosol opt...
