About
Leenes Uzan is a leading researcher in atmospheric science, specializing in the vertical structure and dynamics of dust storms, particularly within the Eastern Mediterranean basin. His most cited work provides groundbreaking insights into the September 2015 extreme dust storm over Israel, a rare and intense event that challenged existing models. By employing a network of eight ceilometers alongside auxiliary measurements, Uzan and his team produced an unprecedented, high-resolution vertical profile of the dust plume’s evolution. This study, cited 14 times, is a cornerstone for understanding how such storms develop, transport, and interact with regional meteorology. Uzan’s contributions are vital for improving dust forecasting, air quality management, and climate impact assessments in arid and semi-arid regions. His meticulous observational approach has set a new standard for analyzing extreme weather events, making his work essential reading for students and researchers studying aerosol dynamics, boundary layer processes, and the growing threat of desertification-driven storms.
