About
John J. DeLuisi is a distinguished atmospheric scientist whose career has centered on advancing the measurement and analysis of aerosol optical properties. His key research areas include aerosol radiative forcing, solar radiation monitoring, and the calibration of ground-based remote sensing instruments. DeLuisi’s most notable contribution is the development of an automated calibration method for the Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR), a critical tool for deriving aerosol optical depth. His 2003 paper on this method, which has garnered 41 citations, demonstrated its application by tracking a massive Asian dust outbreak as it crossed the United States—a landmark achievement in long-range aerosol transport studies. This work helped establish MFRSR networks across the U.S., enabling continuous, high-quality atmospheric monitoring. DeLuisi’s contributions have been instrumental in improving our understanding of how dust, pollution, and other aerosols influence climate and air quality. His legacy lies in providing the scientific community with robust, automated tools for aerosol research, making him a key figure in the field of atmospheric optics and environmental monitoring.
