About
Julien Chimot is a leading expert in satellite aerosol and surface remote sensing, with a primary focus on advancing Earth observation capabilities for climate and environmental monitoring. His most impactful work centers on the retrieval of aerosol and surface properties from the Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI) aboard Copernicus Sentinel-3A, where he pioneered the application of the GRASP (Generalized Retrieval of Atmosphere and Surface Properties) approach. This landmark study, published in 2022 and accumulating 39 citations, demonstrates a robust methodology for deriving critical atmospheric parameters from OLCI’s 21 spectral bands, significantly enhancing our ability to monitor aerosol distributions over both land and ocean. Chimot has also contributed to the adaptation of the CIMEL-318T sun photometer for shipborne use, enabling three years of automated AERONET-compatible aerosol measurements aboard the Research Vessel Marion Dufresne. This innovative work extends ground-based aerosol monitoring networks into remote marine environments, providing essential data for understanding aerosol–cloud–climate interactions. Through these contributions, Chimot has strengthened the bridge between satellite retrievals and in-situ validation, supporting more accurate climate models and air quality assessments.
