About
Jeremy E. Solbrig is a leading researcher in atmospheric remote sensing, with a primary focus on aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals using nighttime satellite observations. His work centers on the innovative application of the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) to characterize artificial light sources and leverage them for aerosol monitoring after dark. Solbrig’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how stable artificial lights—such as city lights—can serve as reliable targets for estimating aerosol loading at night, a period traditionally challenging for satellite-based aerosol sensing. His most cited paper (2019, 24 citations) provides a foundational characterization of these light sources, evaluating how observation conditions affect their utility and documenting incremental improvements in nighttime AOD retrieval accuracy. This work bridges a critical gap in aerosol monitoring, enabling continuous, round-the-clock observation of atmospheric particles that impact climate and air quality. Solbrig’s research has significant implications for environmental monitoring, public health, and climate modeling, establishing him as a key figure in advancing nighttime remote sensing capabilities.
