About
Dominique Carrer is a leading researcher in atmospheric and land surface remote sensing, whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of aerosol dynamics and their impact on solar radiation. His primary research areas include aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrieval, radiative forcing estimation, and the development of innovative observational techniques. Carrer’s major contributions include pioneering a method for daily AOT estimates over land using SEVIRI MSG data (66 citations), which exploits the temporal stability of land surfaces to improve atmospheric monitoring. He has also critically investigated how diurnal aerosol variations affect radiative forcing estimates from MODIS data (45 citations), and demonstrated the importance of aerosol composition—particularly over West Africa—for accurately calculating incoming solar radiation (24 citations). More recently, Carrer has explored creative applications of existing infrastructure, such as repurposing AERONET sun photometers for high-resolution vegetation monitoring, showcasing his ability to bridge atmospheric and surface science. His work underpins operational products distributed by the Land Surface Analysis Satellite Application Facility (LSA-SAF), making his research essential for climate modeling, solar energy, and environmental monitoring.
