Session ID#: 44332

Session Description:
Satellite ocean color revolutionized our understanding of Earth'€™s oceans. Ocean color utilizes the intensity and spectral variation of light scattered upward from beneath the ocean surface to derive optical properties and constituent concentrations. Contemporary ocean color radiometers rely on scalar treatment of light, thus neglecting its polarization components.  Polarized light carries information that is currently underutilized in ocean color. Multi-angle polarimeters have been successful in improving our understanding of aerosol and cloud properties, and satellite missions are planned to host advanced multi-angle polarimeters -€“ including NASA'€™s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission.  With the increasing availability of airborne and satellite polarimeters, and recent advancements in technology, radiative transfer, and in-situ systems, it is time to fully assess the value of multi-angle polarimetry for ocean color applications.  This session will showcase results that contribute to this assessment.  Papers highlighting airborne, satellite, in-situ, and radiative transfer analyses will be presented.
