About
Dr. Boon Ying Lee is an environmental scientist whose research focuses on satellite remote sensing of air quality, particularly the monitoring of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in urban environments. Her most cited work, a 2011 study in Hong Kong, established a critical methodology for linking satellite-derived aerosol optical thickness (AOT) from the MODIS instrument with ground-based PM2.5 measurements. By analyzing the relationship across three different AOT parameters, Dr. Lee demonstrated how spaceborne observations can reliably estimate surface-level air pollution in complex urban landscapes, offering a cost-effective alternative to sparse monitoring stations. This foundational contribution has been cited 9 times, informing subsequent studies on satellite-based air quality monitoring in Asian megacities. Her work directly addresses the challenge of assessing particulate matter exposure in densely populated regions, providing essential tools for public health and environmental policy. Dr. Lee’s research bridges atmospheric science and urban sustainability, making her a key voice in the application of remote sensing to real-world pollution challenges.
