Recently, on 18-21 November, we participated in the APOLO meeting, taking place in the historic city of Kyoto, Japan. It was the 4th meeting of the APOLO workshop series, focused on the development and application of polarimetric technologies. The event addressed critical topics such as instrument innovation, calibration techniques, and advancements in retrieval methods for better understanding and monitoring of Earth’s atmosphere.
It was a remarkable event that provided not only a unique opportunity to interact with leading scientists from worldwide institutions and space agencies but also to meet such legends of our community as Professor Terry Nakajima and Brent N. Holben. The experience was also culturally enriching and a very warm social and recreational event for our team. We look forward to the new APOLO event planned in two years and hope to see you, our friends and colleagues, there supporting and enjoying this remarkable event.
Thank you to all the participants, organizers, and sponsors who made APOLO 2024 a success!
