Polarization-Earth'S Atmosphere-Radiative Transfer

Scientific paper

Non-conservative Rayleigh scattering in finite atmospheres is studied for various values of ω where ω is the albedo for single scattering. The atmosphere is stratified into plane-parallel homogeneous layers. The sky polarization is plotted for certain typical positions of the sun.
We find that for the transmitted light the Babinet and Brewster neutral points in the principal meridian are brought closer to the sun for the lesser value of ω, while the Arago neutral point moves towards the anti-solar point with decreasing ω. As the albedo ω decreases, we get higher amount of polarization in the region where Il < Ir but lower amount of polarization where Il > Ir. Here Il and Ir
