Аннотация:The passive retrieval technique for investigation of the vertical structure of clouds and aerosols from satellites is discussed. This technique uses a combination of cross-nadir polarimetry and high-resolution infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The real potential of this technique is demonstrated here with the help of a set of numerical experiments, e.g. for the detection of cirrus clouds (Ci). In this regard, new vector versions for the longwave and shortwave in the FLBLM (Fast Line-by-Line Model) radiative transfer model are presented. These new versions are based on the Line-by-Line (LbL) and ‘local estimation’ Monte Carlo (MC) methods and can calculate the Stokes parameters of the outgoing radiation in vertically inhomogeneous atmospheres with any spectral resolution.
