Short summary
This study developed a numerical algorithm to simultaneously retrieve aerosol and surface parameters from multi-angle polarimetric observations from space. Our research shows that accurate single scattering albedo retrieval requires degree of linear polarization observation uncertainties below 0.01. The retrieval results agrees with ground-based measurements well, and successfully characterize regional pollution events. We also generate global maps of retrieved aerosol and surface parameters.
