About
Jorge Pey is a leading environmental scientist whose research focuses on the transport and impact of desert dust aerosols, particularly in the Mediterranean and European regions. His major contributions lie in characterizing the regime of intense desert dust episodes and advancing the predictive capabilities of dust forecast models. His seminal 2013 paper, which has garnered 155 citations, established a comprehensive, multi-year analysis of desert dust outbreaks over the Mediterranean Basin using satellite and ground-based measurements, providing a foundational dataset for understanding these phenomena. Pey also played a key role in a major model intercomparison study (2016, 50 citations) that evaluated five state-of-the-art forecast models during a significant Saharan dust outbreak in April 2011, directly contributing to the World Meteorological Organisation’s Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System. This work has improved the accuracy of dust forecasts, with critical implications for air quality, health, and climate. Through his rigorous observational and modeling studies, Jorge Pey has become a vital voice in atmospheric science, helping to bridge the gap between dust source dynamics and their far-reaching environmental consequences.
