International Polarized Radiative Transfer

This case includes the same setup as case D1 but including a mixture of molecules, spherical and spheroidal aerosol particles. The aerosol optical properties are the same as defined in cases D3 and D4.

Setup:

• Molecular optical thickness: 0.5
• spherical aerosol optical thickness: 0.2
• spheroidal aerosol optical thickness: 0.3
• no molecular absorption
• Earth radius: 6371 km
• Thickness of layer: 100 km

• D6_1: Twilight radiance field (normalized to incident irradiance) at the bottom of the layer:
  • sun position: sza:92°, saa:65°
  • viewing zenith angles: vza: 0° - 90°, 5° increment (up-looking)
  • viewing azimuth angles: vaa: 0° - 360°, 5° increment

• D6_2: Limb radiance at top of atmosphere for 20 km tangent height
  • viewing zenith angle at TOA: vza: 81.9°
  • viewing azimuth angle at TOA: vaa: 30°
  • solar zenith angles: sza: 0° - 90°, 5° increment
  • solar azimuth angles: saa: 0° - 360°, 5° increment
