About
Romain Roehrig is a leading climate scientist whose research focuses on aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions, particularly in the context of African biomass burning and its climatic impacts. His major contributions center on understanding how smoke aerosols from southern Africa influence the radiative balance over the southeast Atlantic Ocean—a critical region where absorbing aerosols overlay extensive stratocumulus cloud decks. His most-cited work (2019, 64 citations) demonstrates this expertise by simulating the transport, vertical distribution, and optical properties of smoke aerosols using the ALADIN regional climate model, providing key insights into the direct radiative effect of these particles. This study, conducted within the ORACLES-2016 and LASIC experiments, highlights his ability to integrate complex microphysical and optical processes to quantify aerosol forcing. Roehrig’s research is instrumental in reducing uncertainties in climate projections for the region, and his work is widely referenced by scientists studying aerosol-cloud interactions and regional climate dynamics. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to advancing our understanding of how anthropogenic and natural aerosols shape Earth’s energy budget.
