About
Dr. Anna Kampouri is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the characterization of aerosols—particularly mineral dust and wildfire smoke—using advanced remote sensing techniques. Her major contributions lie in improving our understanding of aerosol optical properties and their climatic impacts. She has pioneered methods to separate fine-mode and coarse-mode components of atmospheric pure dust, leading to a near-global, multiyear climate data record (2024, 13+3 citations) that is critical for climate modeling and radiative forcing assessments. Her work on Canadian wildfire smoke demonstrated that near-spherical particles can accurately reproduce key optical measurements like particle linear depolarization ratio and lidar ratio (2020, 48 citations), challenging previous assumptions about smoke particle shape. Dr. Kampouri also contributed to the EARLINET/ACTRIS COVID-19 campaign (2023, 5 citations), which monitored atmospheric changes during lockdowns. With her research shaping aerosol retrieval algorithms and climate data records, Dr. Kampouri is a rising authority in lidar and sun-photometer remote sensing, providing essential tools for understanding aerosol-cloud interactions and air quality on a global scale.
