Abstract

Aerosol plays a complex but important role in the Earth's climate. Better global coverage of aerosol observations and more information on the aerosol microphysical parameters are needed to improve our understanding of the climate. This book contains 3 studies of improving the global coverage of aerosol observations in the vicinity of clouds for mulit-angle, multi-wavelength photopolarimeters.
