About
Hyerim Kim is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the vertical distribution of aerosols and its implications for air quality and climate. Her major contributions center on advancing satellite-based retrievals of aerosol layer height (ALH) using oxygen absorption bands, a critical parameter for understanding how aerosols interact with radiation and affect surface pollution. In her most cited work, a 2025 study with 7 citations, Kim led a comprehensive intercomparison and validation of ALH retrievals across multiple satellite platforms—GEMS, EPIC, and TROPOMI—demonstrating the feasibility and consistency of these measurements despite complex vertical aerosol structures. This work is foundational for improving satellite monitoring of aerosol transport and for enhancing climate and air quality models. Kim’s research bridges the gap between remote sensing technology and environmental policy, providing essential data for assessing health impacts and regulatory strategies. Her achievements underscore her role as a rising authority in satellite aerosol remote sensing, with her work already informing international validation efforts and shaping the next generation of atmospheric observations.
