About
Fabrice Maupin is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol research, specializing in the development and deployment of advanced optical measurement techniques. His work centers on improving the accuracy of aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals, particularly in challenging environments such as at night and over the ocean. Maupin’s most impactful contribution is his leadership of the first multi-instrument nocturnal intercomparison campaign at the Izaña Observatory, which evaluated lunar photometers and irradiance models to enable reliable nighttime aerosol monitoring—a critical gap in climate observations. This landmark study has garnered 56 citations, underscoring its influence on the field. He has also advanced satellite ocean color science, identifying atmospheric correction errors in coastal waters using SGLI and AERONET-OC data, and pioneered the adaptation of CIMEL-318T photometers for shipborne use aboard the *Marion Dufresne*, enabling three years of automated, AERONET-compatible aerosol measurements over remote oceans. Maupin’s work bridges land, sea, and space, providing essential data for understanding aerosol impacts on climate and air quality. His innovative instrumentation and field campaigns continue to shape global aerosol monitoring networks.
