About
Meinhard Seefeldner is a leading figure in atmospheric remote sensing, whose work centers on advancing ground-based instrumentation for aerosol characterization. His primary research areas include polarimetric radiometry and the development of innovative calibration techniques for solar and sky observations. Seefeldner's most notable contribution is the design and implementation of the Sun–sky automatic radiometer (SSARA), which he enhanced with polarizer filters to create the polarized SSARA—a groundbreaking instrument that captures linear polarization data. This innovation significantly improves the retrieval of aerosol optical properties, as polarized radiation provides richer information about particle size, shape, and composition than traditional photometry alone. His seminal paper on this topic, "The polarized Sun and sky radiometer SSARA: design, calibration, and application for ground-based aerosol remote sensing," has garnered 5 citations, underscoring its impact on the field. Seefeldner's work bridges the gap between classical radiometry and modern polarimetric methods, offering researchers a powerful tool for studying atmospheric aerosols and their climatic effects. His achievements exemplify how precise engineering and creative calibration can unlock new dimensions in environmental monitoring.
