About
Byung‐Ju Sohn is a leading figure in atmospheric and climate science, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of aerosol radiative forcing, particularly over East Asia. His research focuses on the retrieval and analysis of aerosol optical properties—such as aerosol optical thickness, Ångström exponent, and single scattering albedo—using ground-based sky radiometer networks. Sohn’s landmark 2004 study, which has garnered over 228 citations, provided a comprehensive characterization of aerosol properties across East Asia using long-term SKYNET measurements, offering critical insights into regional climate impacts. He is also widely recognized for his pivotal contributions to resolving discrepancies in satellite and ground-based aerosol retrievals. His 2016 work systematically identified the factors causing inconsistent single scattering albedo values between SKYNET and AERONET, a key issue for climate modeling and remote sensing. By bridging observational gaps and improving retrieval algorithms, Sohn’s research has had a lasting impact on aerosol science and climate change studies, making him an authoritative voice in the field.
