About
Athena Augusta Floutsi is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol–cloud interactions, lidar remote sensing, and the characterization of atmospheric aerosols. Her most cited work, "Combined sun-photometer–lidar inversion: lessons learned during the EARLINET/ACTRIS COVID-19 campaign" (2023, 5 citations), exemplifies her key contribution: advancing the integration of ground-based lidar and sun-photometer data to improve aerosol profiling. Through this study, she helped refine inversion techniques that enable more accurate retrieval of aerosol optical properties, a critical step for understanding climate forcing and air quality. Floutsi’s research has been instrumental in the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) and the Aerosols, Clouds and Trace gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS), where she contributed to the intensive COVID-19 lockdown campaign in May 2020. This work provided unique insights into how reduced anthropogenic emissions altered aerosol distributions over Europe. Though early in her career, her methodological innovations in lidar–photometer synergy have already shaped best practices in the field, offering a foundation for future studies on aerosol dynamics and environmental change.
