Description: Measurement of the degree of linear polarization of the residual illumination in the umbral region in different colors at intermediate levels in the atmosphere (10 to 12 km) during the total solar eclipses of May 30, 1965, and Nov. 12, 1966. The objective was to examine the polarization characteristics of light that had been scattered more than once. It is found that, in the middle of the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum (0.4 to 0.6 micron), multiply scattered light is partially linearly polarized (about 20%) at the altitudes where the measurements have been made. Results of similar ground-based measurements performed during the annular eclipse of Sept. 11, 1969, are also briefly discussed.
