Abstract

We present here a new polarimeter designed for the preparation of New-Generation of POLDER instrument and developed at LOA with the support of CNES. Preliminary results obtains over the ocean are presented. We use the spectral radiances to retrieve aerosol parameters (MODIS-like approach) and compare them, when possible, to sunphotometer data as well as coincident MODIS-Terra retrievals. A first attempt to use multispectral and single-angle polarization is also considered in this paper.
