In this paper we have made the aerosol optical parameter estimation using the reflectance and polarization data measured over Arabian Sea near Indian Continent by the ADEOS/ POLDER sensor[1]. Assuming an atmosphere-ocean system with a Cox-Munk type reflecting sea surface [2], the reflectance and polarization, including radiance contributions from multiple scatterings within the atmosphere and multiple reflections between the atmosphere and the sea surface, have been computed by using the adding and doubling method for several typical aerosol models, namely, Water Soluble, Oceanic and Junge Models. In this study we found only Junge type model with v=3.5 and refractive index m=1.50-i0.05 can satisfy the observed reflectance and polarization data in the principal plane.
