Sensor/Polarisation WG att: Mattias (ME), Patrick (PE), Christian (CM), Claas (CT) * Short discussion about surface reflection. How the parallel and perpendicular planes are defined. * Scattering amplitude matrix, how is it defined in AUG. * PE: Important to finish polarisation section in AUG. * How do we normalise the polarisation response? If the total intensity is measured this has to be considered. It affects interpretation of radiances and brightness temperatures. * ME: Special WSM to deal with total intensity simulations. * CM described how the AMSU-B scanning is performed with a rotating mirror and how this give rise to a rotation of the sensor. * ME gave a short introductory presenstation of the ARTS sensor concept. * PE: Need to include a 'dual mixer' possibility in ARTS. * CM asked for possibility to setup the sensor polarisation response by giving ellipticity and rotation angles. * ME: Examples of sensor control files will be put in arts/doc/examples/ Written by Mattias Ekström.
