About

Dr. Ewa Kwiatkowska is a leading expert in satellite ocean color radiometry and atmospheric correction, whose work has fundamentally advanced the monitoring of coastal and open ocean waters from space. Her most influential contribution is the development of new aerosol models for the SeaWiFS and MODIS sensors, which enabled more accurate retrievals of aerosol optical thickness and water-leaving radiances—a seminal paper cited over 340 times that underpins decades of global ocean color data. Dr. Kwiatkowska has been instrumental in assessing and validating radiometric products from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 OLCI instruments across European seas, ensuring the reliability of these critical environmental data. She has also tackled the challenge of cross-platform vicarious calibration for Terra MODIS, improving the consistency of long-term aerosol records. Her work in optically complex waters, such as the Baltic Sea, has addressed the high uncertainty caused by colored dissolved organic matter, demonstrating how to achieve consistency between different satellite sensors. Through her rigorous evaluation of neural network atmospheric correction methods, Dr. Kwiatkowska continues to push the boundaries of satellite remote sensing, making her research indispensable for climate and environmental applications.
