TITLE=The modern aerosol retrieval algorithms based on the simultaneous measurements of the intensity and polarization of reflected solar light: a review JOURNAL=Frontiers in Environmental Science VOLUME=3 YEAR=2015 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/environmental-science/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2015.00004 DOI=10.3389/fenvs.2015.00004 ISSN=2296-665X ABSTRACT=

In this paper the algorithms to retrieve atmospheric aerosol properties using spaceborne observations are reviewed. The main focus is on the algorithms based on simultaneous measurements of the intensity and degree of polarization of reflected solar light at the top-of-atmosphere.
