About

Armin Sorooshian is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the intricate relationships between aerosols, clouds, and precipitation, with a particular emphasis on remote marine and polluted continental environments. His major contributions include establishing a comprehensive aerosol climatology for the remote marine site over Bermuda, using over a decade of data to reveal how North American pollution outflow influences cloud droplet formation and aerosol properties. This work, published in 2021, has garnered 57 citations and is complemented by a related study (51 citations) that examines how precipitation along North American air trajectories alters aerosol characteristics arriving at Bermuda. Sorooshian has also investigated severe haze episodes, such as the 2010 super haze in the Himalayan foothills, analyzing aerosol optical properties and their implications for regional climate forcing. More recently, he has extended his climatological approach to Southeast Asia, developing an emerging aerosol climatology for Metro Manila, Philippines, based on long-term AERONET data. His research is instrumental in reducing uncertainties surrounding aerosol–cloud interactions and their climatic impacts, making him a pivotal figure in atmospheric chemistry and climate science.
