About

Dr. Yahui Che is a leading researcher in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a focus on aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval, dust detection, and atmospheric correction. Their major contributions include developing innovative algorithms that leverage geostationary satellite data—such as Himawari-8/AHI and Indian National Satellite observations—to achieve high-frequency, joint retrievals of aerosol properties and surface reflectance over land. Notably, Dr. Che pioneered a method for deriving a global, hourly AOD dataset by integrating data from four geostationary satellites (GOES-16, MSG-1, MSG-4, and Himawari-8), significantly advancing the monitoring of aerosol distribution and dust storms. Their work has accumulated over 350 citations, with key papers on consistent AOD datasets over China (68 citations) and dust detection techniques (50 citations) demonstrating substantial impact. Dr. Che also contributed to the validation of ESA’s Aerosol CCI products and developed the SAHARA algorithm for atmospheric correction of Chinese GaoFen satellite data. Their research provides critical tools for understanding aerosol-climate interactions and improving air quality monitoring.
