Abstract
In this work, an algorithm that uses the polarization angle of the
backscattered solar radiation to detect clouds with optical depth (OD)
< ~ 0.3 is further developed. We find that at viewing
angles within ± ∼ 8° around the backscattering
direction, the p-polarized intensity that is parallel to the meridian plane
of reflected light from the surface is sensitive to, and nearly linearly related
to, the optical depth of super-thin clouds. Moreover, our sensitivity study
suggests that the p-polarized intensity at these viewing angles is not
sensitive to the ocean surface conditions. Using this property of
p-polarized intensity, super-thin clouds' optical depth can be retrieved.
