(TU Delft Astrodynamics & Space Missions; LATMOS) Groot, Ashwyn (Student TU Delft) Fauchez, Thomas (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) Stam, D.M. (TU Delft Astrodynamics & Space Missions) Date 2018-09-16 Abstract Because clouds scatter and absorb incident radiation, they play crucial roles in the radiative balance, the atmospheric chemistry, climate, and thus the habitabilityof a planet. Clouds usually affect the planet’s observables. We investigate here the effect of partial and variable cloud coverage on the light that is reflected by anEarth-like exoplanet, exploring not only the total flux but also the linearly and circularly polarized fluxes.
