Caption: Figure 5.
The direction of polarization as measured using the Hα cont. filter (λ0 = 647.1 nm). The orientation of the red lines indicates the polarization direction (note that the direction is not shown for every pixel to avoid cluttering), and the line length indicates the local degree of polarization, which is predominantly determined by the polarization signal of the lower atmospheric layers that contain the hazes and clouds.
