About

Arve Kylling is a leading figure in atmospheric physics, whose research focuses on the remote sensing of aerosols and clouds, radiative transfer modeling, and the impacts of solar radiation on climate and health. He is best known for his foundational work on the Mineral Aerosol Profiling from Infrared Radiances (MAPIR) algorithm, a sophisticated retrieval method that uses IASI thermal infrared radiances to map vertical dust concentration profiles. This contribution, detailed in a 2019 paper with 22 citations, provides critical data for understanding dust transport and its climatic effects. Kylling has also made significant advances in UV radiation modeling, developing tools to assess solar exposure and its biological consequences. His work is highly influential, with several papers garnering hundreds of citations, reflecting his role in shaping modern atmospheric science. A key achievement includes the development of the libRadtran radiative transfer package, a widely used open-source tool that has become a standard in the field. Through his rigorous, application-driven research, Kylling has bridged the gap between satellite observations and real-world environmental challenges, making him an essential resource for students and researchers studying aerosol-climate interactions.
