Method for Estimation of Aerosol Parameters Based on Ground Based Atmospheric Polarization Irradiance Measurements
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Method for aerosol refractive index estimation with ground based polarization measurement data is proposed. The proposed method uses a dependency of refractive index on p and s polarized down welling solar diffuse irradiance. It is much easy to measure p and s polarized irradiance on the ground with a portable measuring instrument rather than solar direct, diffuse and aureole measurements. Through theoretical and simulation studies, it is found that the proposed method show a good estimation accuracy of refractive index using measured down welling p and s polarized irradiance data with a measuring instrument pointing to the direction which is perpendicular to the sun in the principal plane. Field experimental results also show a validity of the proposed method in comparison to the estimated results from the conventional method with solar direct, diffuse and aureole measurement data.
