A method for calculating atmospheric parameters measurement accuracy requirement based on polarized reflectance retrieval is proposed. The at-sensor polarization states with different atmospheric parameters content are simulated based on atmospheric radiative transfer model in order to select the key parameter affecting the polarization observation. Accuracy requirement of atmospheric parameters is derived through the polarized reflectance retrieval method. Experiment results show that retrieval accuracy of polarized reflectance of typical ground objects can be up to 90%. And the atmospheric parameters measurement accuracy requirement when the retrieval accuracy is more than 75% is derived.
