About
Alkiviadis Bais is a leading atmospheric physicist whose research centers on solar ultraviolet radiation, aerosol properties, and the validation of satellite-based atmospheric models. Based at the Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics in Thessaloniki, Greece, Bais has made pivotal contributions to understanding how UV radiation affects human health and the environment. His highly cited work on the TEMIS UV product validation (49 citations) cross-validated ground-based and satellite models for erythemal UV, vitamin D production, and DNA damage, establishing critical benchmarks for photobiological dose assessments. Bais also advanced aerosol science by developing machine learning algorithms to retrieve aerosol optical depth from surface solar radiation measurements (34 citations), enabling reconstruction of past aerosol levels crucial for climate forcing studies. His development of a charge-coupled device spectrograph for direct solar irradiance measurements (42 citations) set new standards for instrument sensitivity with 4.4% uncertainty. During the SCOUT-O₃ campaign, Bais combined Raman lidar and Sun photometer data to estimate microphysical aerosol properties over Thessaloniki (25 citations), demonstrating innovative multi-instrument synergy. His work bridges atmospheric physics, public health, and climate science, providing essential tools for UV monitoring and aerosol characterization worldwide.
