Fig. 3: Top-of-atmosphere reflectance (top) and polarization rate (bottom) as a
function of viewing geometry. Sun zenith angle is 30°, wind speed is 5 rrs'^, and
wavelength is 450 nm. Aerosols are of "oceanic " type; they are located below 800 mb
and their optical thickness is 0.2. Hydrosols are phytoplankton particles; they are
uniformly distributed vertically and their volume concentration number is 1-19
10*4 m"3 (about 0.1 mgm'3).
