About
Dr. Lionel Doppler is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol research, with a particular focus on advancing the measurement and understanding of aerosols during nighttime hours. His most cited work, the landmark 2019 study "Evaluation of night-time aerosols measurements and lunar irradiance models," details the first multi-instrument nocturnal intercomparison campaign. Conducted at the high-mountain Izaña Observatory in Tenerife, this pivotal study brought together two different types of lunar photometers—the Cimel CE318-T and the Moon Precision Filter Radiometer—to synchronously measure aerosol optical depth (AOD) under the moonlit sky. By rigorously evaluating lunar irradiance models and establishing protocols for nighttime AOD retrieval, Dr. Doppler’s research has fundamentally expanded the temporal scope of aerosol monitoring, enabling a continuous 24-hour cycle of observation. This work is critical for improving climate models and understanding aerosol transport, as it fills a significant gap left by traditional sun photometry. With 56 citations, this study remains a cornerstone reference for scientists working on nocturnal atmospheric measurements, solidifying Dr. Doppler’s reputation as a pioneer in lunar photometry and night-time aerosol science.
