Short summary
Knowledge on the vertical distribution of aerosols in the atmospheric is important for studying aerosol impacts on air quality and climate change. The polarization measurements in O2 A and B bands is shown here theoretically to have rich information for characterizing aerosol vertical profile over land. This paper presents a passive remote sensing technique supplementary to the existing technique to retrieve aerosol vertical distribution over land from space.
