## Abstract This paper describes the theoretical analysis that is required to infer, from polarimeter measurements of skylight, the size distribution, refractive index and abundance of particulates in the atmosphere. To illustrate the viability of the method, some data obtained at UCLA is analysed
In the present analysis broad-band turbidity parameters, which depend upon the attenuation over the entire solar spectrum and which can be determined from unfiltered pyrheliometric measurements of direct beam solar irradiance, are presented. Unsworth-Monteith attenuation coefficient Tm, Linke facto
