About
Dr. A. Hornero is a leading figure in satellite-based atmospheric aerosol science, with a career dedicated to the long-term monitoring of Earth’s atmosphere. Their primary research focuses on the retrieval and analysis of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from space, particularly using the ATSR and SLSTR series of dual-view satellite instruments. Dr. Hornero’s most significant contribution is the creation of a groundbreaking, 24-year global data record (1995–2022) that provides not only total AOD but also the fine-mode aerosol component, which is crucial for identifying anthropogenic pollution. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 4 citations, is a vital resource for climate modeling and air quality studies. By harmonizing data from multiple satellite missions, Dr. Hornero has enabled unprecedented continuity in aerosol observations, allowing scientists to track long-term trends in atmospheric particles. Their meticulous approach to processing original 1-km resolution reflectance measurements has set a new standard for accuracy in the field, making their datasets indispensable for researchers studying climate change and human health impacts.
