About
Angela Benedetti is a leading figure in the field of aerosol forecasting and atmospheric composition, with a career dedicated to improving how we predict and understand the movement of dust, smoke, and pollutants across the globe. Her primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of global operational aerosol models, particularly through her pivotal work with the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). Benedetti has been instrumental in creating the ICAP multi-model ensemble (MME), a consensus-based forecasting system that synthesizes outputs from up to nine different models to produce more reliable predictions. Her foundational papers on this topic have garnered over 150 and 130 citations, respectively, underscoring their impact on the operational forecasting community. Beyond ensemble development, she has advanced the use of satellite data—including fire radiative power (FRP) products for the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service—and has led critical model intercomparisons, such as the study of the April 2011 Saharan dust outbreak over Europe. Her work on assimilating lidar data from satellite and ground-based instruments further demonstrates her commitment to refining aerosol vertical profiles. Through these contributions, Benedetti has shaped the modern landscape of aerosol prediction, directly benefiting air quality monitoring and hazard warning systems worldwide.
