About
Jongmin Yoon is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol optical properties, satellite remote sensing, and the radiative impacts of biomass burning. His most cited work, "Improvement of aerosol optical depth retrieval over Hong Kong from a geostationary meteorological satellite using critical reflectance with background optical depth correction" (66 citations), advanced methods for accurately measuring aerosol loading from space, particularly in complex urban environments. Yoon gained significant attention for his study on the direct radiative forcing of biomass burning aerosols from the catastrophic 2019–2020 Australian wildfires (45 citations), which quantified how smoke plumes from the record-breaking fires blocked sunlight and influenced regional climate. He has also contributed to ground-based retrievals of aerosol column absorption in the UV spectral region, with implications for the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) mission. While Yoon’s primary impact lies in aerosol remote sensing and climate forcing, his earlier work on multi-pose face detection for robotics demonstrates interdisciplinary breadth. His research is essential for understanding how aerosols affect Earth’s energy balance and air quality, with direct applications to satellite monitoring and climate modeling.
