Abstract :
The ADvanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS) was successfully launched by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), last summer. The POLDER is one of eight sensors on board of the ADEOS and it has an ability to measure both the directional reflectance and polarization from the Earth atmosphere-surface system. Since the ADEOS/POLDER data sets are not yet available, the analysis results using the airborne POLDER data sets are given in this article. The authors have made analyses on both the Medimar campaign data over the Mediterranean Sea in 1991 and the La Crau campaign data over the land in the southeast of France in 1990
