About

Jungbin Mok is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing, particularly the retrieval and characterization of aerosol optical properties in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region. Their most cited work, "Ground-based retrievals of aerosol column absorption in the UV spectral region and their implications for GEMS measurements" (2020, 24 citations), makes a pivotal contribution to satellite validation and air quality monitoring. This study develops ground-based retrieval methods for aerosol column absorption, directly supporting the calibration and interpretation of data from the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS)—a cutting-edge satellite instrument that provides real-time observations of atmospheric composition over Asia. By bridging ground-based and space-borne measurements, Mok’s research enhances our ability to track absorbing aerosols like dust and black carbon, which have significant climate and health impacts. Their work is instrumental in improving the accuracy of satellite-derived aerosol products, enabling more reliable assessments of regional air pollution and its transboundary transport. With growing relevance to environmental policy and public health, Mok’s contributions are shaping the next generation of atmospheric monitoring systems.
