Global warming in the pipeline (2022, background): “Continued monitoring of absorbed energy can confirm the reality of the change, but without global monitoring of detailed physical properties of aerosols and clouds [142], it will be difficult to apportion observed change among candidate causes.”
Models for surface reflection of radiance and polarized radiance: Comparison with airborne multi-angle photopolarimetric measurements and implications for modeling top-of-atmosphere measurements (2011, methodology): “To reduce this uncertainty, multiple-viewing angle andmulti-spectral photopolarimetric satellite measurements at a global scale are necessary (Hasekamp & Landgraf, 2007; Mishchenko et al., 2007a).”
Enhancement of aerosol characterization using synergy of lidar and sun - photometer coincident observations: the GARRLiC algorithm (2013, background): “The differentiation and retrieval of both the size distributions and the complex refractive indices for each fraction of mixed aerosol from remote sensing is highly demanded and recommended (Mishchenko et al., 2007).”
The impact of aerosols on polarized sky radiance: model development, validation, and applications (2009, unknown): “The NASA Glory mission (Mishchenko et al., 2007) which is scheduled for launch in October 2010 will carry an Aerosol Polarimeter Sensor (APS) to determine aerosol and cloud properties.”
Improvements in Shortwave Bulk Scattering and Absorption Models for the Remote Sensing of Ice Clouds (2011, methodology): “Multispectral polarization measurements at selected wavelengths from the VIS through shortwave IR (SWIR: 0.75 , l , 3 mm) were to be provided by the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor as part of the Glory mission (Mishchenko et al. 2007), which was lost in a launch failure in March 2011.”
Aerosol light absorption and its measurement: A review (2009, background): “This product is based on the multi-angle polarimetric capabilities of APS and the high sensitivity of polarization data to aerosol microphysics including aerosol light absorption [289,292].”
Statistically optimized inversion algorithm for enhanced retrieval of aerosol properties from spectral multi-angle polarimetric satellite observations (2010, methodology): “…results of actual PARASOL data inversion suggest that the processing the PARASOL with developed algorithm can provide global products of total aerosol optical thickness and single scattering albedo rather consistent with the accuracy requirements formulated by Mishchenko et al. (2004, 2007).”
A review of the light scattering properties of cirrus (2009, methodology): “However, the forthcoming GLORY instrument due for launch in June 2009 [147], will be able to resolve the backscattering section of the phase function at up to 250 scattering angles per pixel, both in terms of intensity and polarization.”
The libRadtran software package for radiative transfer calculations (version 2.0.1) (2015, unknown): “(1998) O2 108 – 160 Ogawa and Ogawa (1975) 160 – 175 Yoshino et al.”
