Polarimetric

The polarimetric L-band synthetic aperture radar SAR specifically designed to acquire airborne repeat track SAR data for differential interferometric measurements, and these measurements will allow scientists to study the pressures building up and being released on the fault at depth. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Discrimination of nearshore, shoreface and estuarine ice on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada, using Radarsat-1 and airborne polarimetric c-band SAR. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Recent investigations of the polarimetric work done in the customs branch of the Treasury Department have shown that a very considerable part of the want of agreement in the results obtained at the different ports was due to a lack of uniformity in the standardization of the instruments and apparatus. ❋ Various (N/A)

It is the opinion of this Commission that the expression "testing ... degrees by the polariscope," used with reference to sugar in the act, is to be considered as meaning the percentage of pure sucrose the sugar contains, as ascertained by polarimetric estimation. ❋ Various (N/A)

This commission would suggest that the attention of the proper authorities should be called to the desirability of official action by this government with a view to co-operation with other countries for the adoption of international standards for polarimetric work. ❋ Various (N/A)

The following directions are based upon various official procedures such as the one used in the United States custom houses, the method prescribed by the German government, etc. They embody also the result of recent research in regard to sources of error in polarimetric estimation of sugar: ❋ Various (N/A)

Until this is done, however, it will be necessary for the Internal Revenue Bureau to adopt, provisionally, one of the best existing forms of polariscope, and by carefully defining the scale of this instrument, establish a basis for its polarimetric work which will be a close approximation to an absolute standard, and upon which it can rely in case of any dispute arising as to the results obtained by the officers of the bureau. ❋ Various (N/A)

In closing this report the members of this commission hereby signify their intention to promote uniformity and accuracy by adopting and using the standards and general plan of procedure recommended in this report in the polarimetric determinations over which, in their respective branches of government work, they have control. ❋ Various (N/A)

If a satisfactory clarification has not been obtained, the entire operation must be repeated, since only with solutions that are entirely clear and bright can accurate polarimetric observations be made. ❋ Various (N/A)

"This theory of polarimetric Viking navigation is accepted and frequently cited, in spite of a total lack of experimental evidence," wrote researchers led by optics expert ❋ Lisa Grossman (2011)

We show that polarimetric imaging using the high spatial resolution of ACS/WFC and its ability to image close to the star can resolve this ambiguity and yield a reliable geometric distance to RS Pup. ❋ Unknown (2010)

ARMOR is a dual-polarimetric Doppler radar meaning that it works by transmitting pulses of microwave energy in vertical and horizontal orientations that are then scattered back to the radar in the same orientations. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

PSRCHIVE implements an extensive range of algorithms for use in scintillation studies, polarimetric calibration, pulsar timing, single-pulse work, RFI mitigation, etc. ❋ Unknown (2010)
