Retrieval of cloud fraction and optical thickness of liquid water clouds over the ocean from multi-angle polarization observations

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Based on radiative transfer simulations the authors show that the cloud fraction and the cloud optical thickness can be derived from measurements at two viewing angles: one within the cloudbow and one in the sun glint region. The authors investigate the impact of wind speed, aerosols, and cloud altitude. When the authors focus on the degree of linear polarization Q/I, the authors see that it does not depend on cloud fraction in the cloudbow region, whereas there is a strong dependence on cloud fraction in the glint region.
