About
Charikleia Meleti is a distinguished atmospheric physicist whose research centers on ultraviolet (UV) radiation, satellite validation, and the intricate interplay between solar irradiance and human health. Her major contributions lie in the rigorous cross-validation of satellite-derived UV products with ground-based measurements, ensuring the reliability of data used for public health and environmental monitoring. In her most-cited work, "TEMIS UV product validation using NILU-UV ground-based measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece" (2017, 49 citations), Meleti and her team compared satellite models with high-temporal-resolution surface data to assess three critical photobiological UV doses: erythemal (sunburn), vitamin D synthesis, and DNA damage. This study provided essential benchmarks for improving satellite retrievals, directly impacting skin cancer prevention and vitamin D deficiency research. Her work is notable for bridging the gap between remote sensing and practical health outcomes, demonstrating how precise UV monitoring can inform policy and personal sun safety. Meleti’s research continues to shape our understanding of UV exposure risks and benefits, making her a key figure in environmental health physics.
