Description

Switch on polarisation for montecarlo radiative transfer solver. By default uses unpolarized sunlight (light starting with an initial Stokes Vector (1,0,0,0). Optionally users may provide one of the following numbers to specify one of the following initial Stokes vectors:

  • 0: Unpolarized
  • 1: Stokes Vector (1,0,0,0)
  • 2: Stokes Vector (1,1,0,0)
  • 3: Stokes Vector (1,0,1,0)
  • 4: Stokes Vector (1,0,0,1)
  • 5: Stokes Vector (1,-1,0,0)
  • 6: Stokes Vector (1,0,-1,0)
  • 7: Stokes Vector (1,0,0,-1)

Details about the implementation of polarisation are described in (Emde et al., 2010).
