AOGS 2018, session PS08, Polarization as a Tool for Exploration of Earth, Solar System and Beyond

Honolulu, Hawaii, June 3-8, 2018; http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2018/ Abstract submission deadline January 19.

 

Polarimetry is a powerful observing tool and modeling technique, providing information about cosmic objects that cannot be obtained by traditional photometric/spectroscopic observations. Innovative developments in vector radiative transfer theory, laboratory measurements, and the increasing significance of non-sphericity effects on retrieval efforts showcase the importance of polarimetric exploration of the solar system and other planetary systems. This session is open to papers about observations of solar system bodies (including the Earth), theoretical or experimental investigations, instrument developments for ground-based facilities and space missions.

Conveners: Padma A.Yanamandra-Fisher (Space Science Institute, USA) Lucyna Chudczer (University of New South Wales, Australia), Shashikiran Ganesh (Physical Research Laboratory, India),

Svetlana Berdyugina (Kiepenheuer Institut fuer Sonnenphysik, Germany), Ludmilla Kolokolova (University of Maryland, USA).
