Polarization properties of aerosol particles over western Japan: classification, seasonal variation, and implications for air quality

Ground-based observation of the polarization properties of aerosol particles using a polarization optical particle counter (POPC) was made from 27 October 2013, to 31 December 2015, at a suburban site in the Kyushu area of Japan. We found that the depolarization ratio (DR, the fraction of <i&g...
