Abstract :
Depolarization was measured at a polarization angle of 
from vertical. Depolarization transformed to this polarization from measurements made at polarizations 
from vertical and horizontal is compared with the direct measurements scaled to the path elevation angle of the transformed measurements. Over the ranges of attenuation and depolarization for which the measurements are meaningful, the agreement between them is good. These results further reinforce our confidence in the results and conclusions obtained earlier using the polarization transformation technique.
