The effect of the polarization response is remarkabe for some of the ocean color remote sensors with high polarization sensitivity, such as Aqua MODIS. The ocean color polarizaton correction algorithm of MODIS have been operation already. However, the current implementation of the MODIS polarization correction algorithm ignored the polarization component produced by aerosol scattering. In order to assess the effect of the aerosol scattering, the coupled ocean-atmospheric vector radiance transfer model PCOART was used to simulate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) linear polarization radiance at two case, the pure Rayleight at,ps[jere wotjpit aerosol, and the aerosol optical thickness of 0.2.
