About
Jochen Landgraf is a leading figure in atmospheric remote sensing, whose work centers on the retrieval of aerosol and trace gas properties from spaceborne instruments. He is best known for his pivotal contributions to the development and application of the SPEXone spectropolarimeter, a cutting-edge instrument aboard NASA’s PACE mission. Landgraf’s research has fundamentally advanced our ability to characterize atmospheric aerosols, particularly through the use of multi-angle polarimetric measurements. His most-cited paper, "Aerosol Retrievals From SPEXone on the NASA PACE Mission: First Results and Validation" (2025, 20 citations), presents the first validation of the Remote sensing of Trace gas and Aerosol Products (RTA) algorithm over both land and ocean. This work is already shaping the future of aerosol science, demonstrating how polarimetry can disentangle complex aerosol types and improve climate models. With a career spanning decades, Landgraf has also been instrumental in the development of the TROPOMI instrument on the Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, further cementing his reputation as a pioneer in atmospheric composition monitoring. His research continues to drive innovation in satellite-based Earth observation, offering critical insights into air quality and climate change.
