About

Guangliang Fu is a prominent remote sensing scientist whose research sits at the intersection of atmospheric aerosol characterization, polarimetric retrieval algorithms, and satellite Earth observation. Working closely with SRON – the Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Fu has made substantial contributions to developing and refining algorithms that extract aerosol properties from multiangle polarimetric measurements — instruments capable of capturing both the intensity and polarization of sunlight scattered by atmospheric particles. Fu's most impactful work emerged from the NASA-SRON ACEPOL campaign, with his 2020 paper on cross-polarimeter aerosol retrievals accumulating 82 citations and establishing benchmark methodologies used across the field. His development and application of the RemoTAP (Remote sensing of Trace gases and Aerosol Products) algorithm has been particularly noteworthy, extending aerosol retrieval capabilities over challenging surfaces like snow and demonstrating its effectiveness on NASA's recently launched PACE mission satellite instrument SPEXone. Fu has also pioneered aerosol retrievals using China's DPC-2/GF-5(02) polarimeter, broadening global observational capacity. His work directly supports ocean color science, climate research, and air quality monitoring, reflecting a researcher steadily shaping how the scientific community uses next-generation satellite polarimeters to understand Earth's atmosphere.
