An introduction to the 2009 NASA/Glory mission: accounting for scattering by hydrosols and 
by non-spherical aerosols

The remote sensing capabilities of the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor 
(APS), scheduled for launch into the A-train in 2009 onboard the 
NASA/Glory Mission, offers an opportunity to retrieve aerosol 
properties from space with unprecedented accuracies. This talk provides 
an introduction to the objectives and measurements of the NASA/Glory 
mission, and discusses further the modeling efforts to account for (1) 
water-leaving radiance contributions over oceans and (if time permits, 2) 
scattering by non-spherical particles.
