Polarization singularities in the clear sky
Ideas from singularity theory provide a simple account of the pattern of polarization directions in daylight. The singularities (two near the Sun and two near the anti-Sun) are points in the sky where the polarization line pattern has index +1/2 and the intensity of polarization is zero. The singularities are caused by multiple scattering that splits into two each of the unstable index +1 singu...
متن کاملDigital imaging of clear-sky polarization.
If digital images of clear daytime or twilight skies are acquired through a linear polarizing filter, they can be combined to produce high-resolution maps of skylight polarization. Here polarization P and normalized Stokes parameter Q are measured near sunset at one inland and two coastal sites. Maps that include the principal plane consistently show that the familiar Arago and Babinet neutral ...
متن کاملTropospheric Aerosol Climate Forcing in Clear-Sky Satellite Observations over the Oceans.
Tropospheric aerosols affect the radiative forcing of Earth's climate, but their variable concentrations complicate an understanding of their global influence. Model-based estimates of aerosol distributions helped reveal spatial patterns indicative of the presence of tropospheric aerosols in the satellite-observed clear-sky solar radiation budget over the world's oceans. The results show that, ...
متن کاملBlue Skies: A Methodology for Data-Driven Clear Sky Modelling
Solar energy is gaining prominence across the world in response to climate change, depleting reserves, lowering costs, and favorable legislation. However, a key challenge in integrating solar power into the grid is the ability to forecast solar energy production accurately. The variability and uncertainty of solar power can negatively impact grid stability and increase the cycling costs of conv...
متن کاملAerosol absorption over the clear-sky oceans deduced from POLDER-1 and AERONET observations
[1] We estimate aerosol absorption over the clear-sky oceans using aerosol geophysical products from POLDER-1 space measurements and absorption properties from ground-based AERONET measurements. Our best estimate is 2.5 Wm 2 averaged over the 8-month lifetime of POLDER-1. Low and high absorption estimates are 2.2 and 3.1 Wm 2 based on the variability in aerosol singlescattering albedo observed ...
