Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of transverse waves, most notably electromagnetic waves, such as radio or light waves. Typically polarimetry is done on electromag

…as remote sensing applications, such as planetary science, astronomy, and weather radar. Polarimetry of thin films and surfaces is commonly known as ellipsometry. Polarimetry can also be included in computational analysis of waves. For example, radars often consider wave polarization in post-processing to improve…
