About
Chulkyu Lee is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the remote sensing of aerosols, particularly Asian dust, using advanced lidar systems. His most cited work, “Retrieval of Vertical Single-scattering Albedo of Asian dust using Multi-wavelength Raman Lidar System” (2013), introduces a novel methodology for deriving the single-scattering albedo of both pure nonspherical Asian dust particles and those mixed with spherical pollution aerosols. By applying the inverse relationship between polarization extinction and dust mixing ratio, Lee’s study successfully separates dust and non-dust layers within the atmosphere, then uses extinction coefficients at 355 and 532 nm and backscatter coefficients at 355, 532, and 1064 nm to perform an inversion analysis. This work provides a critical tool for understanding the radiative impact of mineral dust, a major climate forcing agent. With 3 citations, this paper represents a foundational contribution to lidar-based aerosol characterization, enabling more accurate assessments of dust’s role in atmospheric heating and cooling. Lee’s research is essential for students and researchers studying aerosol–radiation interactions and the optical properties of mixed aerosol plumes.
