About
Dr. Elli Suhonen is a leading atmospheric scientist whose work bridges the critical gap between satellite remote sensing and aerosol science. Her primary research focuses on improving the accuracy of greenhouse gas observations, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂), by accounting for the complex interference of atmospheric aerosols. Her most influential contribution, the 2025 paper "A global perspective on CO₂ satellite observations in high AOD conditions," has already garnered 4 citations, establishing a foundational framework for understanding how dense aerosol plumes—from dust storms to wildfire smoke—degrade satellite retrievals of column-averaged CO₂ (XCO₂). By systematically analyzing global aerosol optical depth (AOD) patterns and their impact on spectral measurements, Dr. Suhonen has provided the community with essential correction algorithms that enhance data quality in regions previously considered too challenging for accurate monitoring. Her work is pivotal for advancing the next generation of carbon-observing satellites, ensuring that even the most polluted atmospheres yield reliable climate data.
