About
Camelia Botezan is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol climatology, satellite remote sensing, and air quality monitoring, with a particular emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe. Her major contributions include the long-term characterization of aerosol optical properties over Cluj-Napoca, Romania, using a decade (2010–2020) of ground-based AERONET data and satellite observations from MODIS and SEVIRI. She has validated satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) products against ground-based measurements, advancing the accuracy of regional air quality assessments. Her work on the SAMIRA project has improved near-real-time aerosol monitoring capabilities. With her most cited papers accumulating 9, 8, and 4 citations respectively, Botezan’s research provides critical insights into aerosol trends and their climatic impacts. Notable achievements include establishing a robust aerosol climatology for a region with limited prior data and demonstrating the utility of multi-platform observations for environmental monitoring. Her findings are essential for understanding aerosol radiative forcing and informing policy on air quality in Eastern Europe.
