A multipurpose field radiometer (Optical Research Corporation Model MSR7000) was modified to measure the degree of polarization and radiance of skylight either from the ground or from a ship. The atmospheric Observations were performed over Lunar lake(38°23'N, 115°59'W), Nevada(U.S.A) in wavelengths from 400nm to 1000nm, where the altitude is 1750m. The polarization increased with an increase of wavelength and reached a maximum of 70% at around 500nm. It then decreased with a further increase of wavelength. This trend might be explained by contamination of aerosols in the atmosphere, if the surface reflectance is low. However, More detailed observations of atmosphere and surface are required over the Lunar lake, since the surface reflectance is high to derive information on atmospheric aerosol.
