Scientific paper

The intrinsic thermal radiation of the moon becomes increasingly polarised toward the limb, when viewed from a distant point such as on Earth. The polarised emission is radially aligned and is due to the changing angle of the lunar surface toward the limb combined with Brewster angle effects. We intend to use this polarised emission as a calibrator for atmospheric dispersion effects and to determine surface roughness parameters. This work not only has the potential for planetary and atmospheric science results but also has particular application to the detection of UHE neutrinos using the lunar Cerenkov technique (see proposal C1637).
