Short summary
Particulate Observing Scanning Polarization (POSP) on board the second GaoFen-5 (GF-5(02)) satellite is the first space-borne ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared–shortwave-infrared (UV–VIS–NIR–SWIR) multi-spectral cross-track scanning polarimeter. Due to its wide spectral range and polarimetric capabilities, POSP measurements provide rich information for aerosol and surface characterization. We present the detailed aerosol/surface products generated from POSP's first 18 months of operation, including spectral aerosol optical depth, aerosol-size-/absorption-related properties, surface black-sky and white-sky albedos, etc.
