About
Hyunkwang Lim is a remote sensing scientist specializing in satellite-based aerosol retrieval and atmospheric monitoring, with a particular focus on geostationary Earth observation systems over East Asia. His most influential contribution, the Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval (YAER) algorithm, has been developed and validated across multiple cutting-edge satellite platforms — including Japan's Himawari-8/AHI, South Korea's GOCI, GOCI-II, and GEO-KOMPSAT-2 series — establishing a continuous, long-term record of aerosol optical depth (AOD) across the region. His 2018 paper introducing the AHI/Himawari-8 YAER framework has garnered over 100 citations, reflecting its foundational importance to the field. Lim has also pioneered synergistic approaches that merge hyperspectral UV-visible data from instruments like OMI and GEMS with broadband imagers, improving retrieval accuracy under challenging surface conditions. More recently, he has advanced data fusion techniques incorporating deep neural networks to integrate AOD products from multiple geostationary sensors, pushing the boundaries of aerosol monitoring precision. With a cumulative citation record exceeding 260 across his top works, Lim's research plays a critical role in air quality assessment, climate science, and the calibration of next-generation geostationary satellite missions.
