About

Evgueni Kassianov is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol microphysics, radiative transfer, and remote sensing. His major contributions center on developing and refining retrieval methods for key aerosol optical properties using surface-based instruments, particularly the Multi-Filter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR). Kassianov’s work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of how aerosols influence Earth’s radiation budget, a critical factor in climate modeling. His most cited paper (2007, 80 citations) presents a novel approach for retrieving aerosol single-scattering albedo and asymmetry parameter from MFRSR observations during the ARM Aerosol IOP 2003, providing essential data for improving climate and air quality models. In a foundational 2005 study (43 citations), he demonstrated how to retrieve aerosol microphysical properties—such as size distribution and refractive index—from surface MFRSR data, bridging the gap between modeling and field observations. Kassianov’s work is widely recognized for its practical impact, enabling routine, ground-based monitoring of aerosol properties that are otherwise difficult to measure. His achievements have made him a key figure in the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) community, where his methods continue to support critical research on aerosol-cloud interactions and climate change.
