About
Avelino F. Arellano is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol-climate interactions, air quality, and atmospheric composition in Southeast Asia. His major contributions include establishing the first comprehensive aerosol climatology for Metro Manila, Philippines, using over a decade of AERONET remote sensing data (2009–2018). This landmark study, published in 2023, provides critical insights into the complex life cycle of aerosol particles in a region characterized by diverse topography and monsoon-driven weather patterns. With 7 citations to date, this work has become a foundational reference for understanding aerosol variability in tropical urban environments. Arellano’s research bridges satellite observations and ground-based measurements to improve air quality modeling and climate projections. His notable achievements include advancing the characterization of aerosol optical properties and their radiative effects in data-sparse regions. By illuminating the interplay between local emissions, meteorological dynamics, and long-range transport, Arellano’s work directly supports policy efforts to mitigate air pollution and its health impacts. His ongoing contributions continue to shape the field of aerosol remote sensing in Southeast Asia, making him a key figure for students and researchers studying atmospheric chemistry and climate change in the tropics.
