About
Agnieszka Kupc is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the microphysical, chemical, and optical properties of aerosols in the remote atmosphere. Her major contributions stem from her work on the NASA Atmospheric Tomography Mission (ATom), where she led global-scale in situ measurements of ambient aerosol properties. By analyzing data collected from the NASA DC-8 aircraft during flights spanning from ~84°N to ~86°S over the Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, and Southern oceans, Kupc provided unprecedented insights into aerosol distributions and their role in climate. Her most cited paper, "Ambient aerosol properties in the remote atmosphere from global-scale in situ measurements" (2021), has garnered 65 citations, highlighting its significance in advancing our understanding of background aerosol conditions. This work is notable for its comprehensive characterization of aerosol properties across diverse, pristine environments, offering a critical baseline for modeling climate impacts. Kupc’s research is essential for students and researchers studying aerosol-cloud interactions, atmospheric chemistry, and global climate change, as it bridges observational gaps in remote regions and informs future atmospheric missions.
