Abstract
The problem of allowance for polarization in statistical simulation of satellite imaging of the surface of the Earth in the optical wavelength range is considered. It is shown that the neglect of polarizing properties of radiation can lead to significant errors when retrieving the reflection coefficients of low-reflectivity surfaces.
