About
F. De Tomasi is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol research, specializing in the development and application of advanced remote sensing techniques. Their key research areas include the vertical profiling of aerosol properties, the validation of satellite aerosol products, and the integration of ground-based lidar and radiometer data. De Tomasi’s most significant contribution is the development of the Lidar-Radiometer Inversion Code (LIRIC), a pioneering algorithm that enables the simultaneous retrieval of vertical aerosol concentration profiles from combined lidar and sun photometric observations. This work, detailed in a highly cited 2016 paper (139 citations), has become a cornerstone for the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET). De Tomasi has also made impactful contributions to the validation of satellite aerosol retrievals, notably comparing AERONET and MODIS data during Saharan dust outbreaks over the Mediterranean (43 and 40 citations). Their innovative graphical methods for estimating altitude-dependent aerosol fine-mode properties from multi-wavelength lidar measurements further demonstrate their expertise. Through these achievements, De Tomasi has significantly advanced our understanding of aerosol vertical distribution and its implications for climate and air quality.
