About
Hyunkee Hong is a leading figure in satellite aerosol remote sensing, with a primary focus on advancing geostationary observations of atmospheric aerosols. His most influential work centers on the development and validation of the GOCI Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval (YAER) algorithm, a cornerstone achievement for the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) aboard the COMS satellite. This algorithm, detailed in his highly cited 2016 paper (128 citations), pioneered the retrieval of aerosol optical properties from the first multi-channel ocean color imager in geostationary orbit, enabling unprecedented hourly monitoring of aerosol dynamics. Hong’s contributions have been critical in bridging satellite observations and ground-based validation, particularly during intensive field campaigns like DRAGON-NE Asia 2012. By providing high-temporal-resolution aerosol data over East Asia, his work has significantly improved our understanding of regional air pollution transport and aerosol radiative effects. His research continues to shape the next generation of geostationary aerosol retrieval algorithms, making him a key authority in atmospheric remote sensing for environmental and climate studies.
