Determination of the single-scattering albedo of a dense Rayleigh-scattering atmosphere with true absorption
Description
A procedure is developed to determine the single-scattering albedo from polarization measurements of the angle-dependent intensity at two locations within, or on the boundaries of, a homogeneous finite atmosphere which scatters radiation according to Rayleigh's law with true absorption. The density of the atmosphere need not be known. (orig.)
