Scientific paper

The paper investigates geometric effects which may influence the interpretation of observed polarimetric data of planets used to deduce physical properties of aerosols and their distributions in planetary atmospheres. The effects studied include the observer's distance to the planet, horizontal inhomogeneity of the planetary atmosphere, and deviation from a spherical body. The results will facilitate the present and future analyses of spacecraft data.
