About
Bas Henzing is a leading researcher in atmospheric aerosol science, with a focus on the complex interactions between aerosol optical properties, chemical composition, and atmospheric humidity. His major contributions center on advancing the remote sensing and data assimilation of aerosols, particularly by addressing the critical challenge of hygroscopic growth—how water uptake by particles alters their optical behavior. Henzing’s most cited work, “Estimation of aerosol water and chemical composition from AERONET Sun–sky radiometer measurements at Cabauw, the Netherlands” (2014, 50 citations), pioneered methods to retrieve aerosol water content and chemical speciation from ground-based remote sensing, enabling more accurate characterization of aerosol abundance. He further advanced the field by demonstrating how aerosol particle size influences the assimilation of satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) into models, as shown in his 2023 paper (40 citations), where he optimized AOD assimilation using the Ångström exponent. This work bridges the gap between satellite observations and model simulations, improving air quality forecasts. Henzing’s research is instrumental for climate and air quality studies, offering practical solutions to disentangle aerosol mass from humidity-driven optical effects.
