About

Lin Zang is a leading figure in atmospheric aerosol research, with a focus on advancing the accuracy and application of satellite and reanalysis aerosol products over China. Her most cited work, the 2020 study "Evaluation of Himawari-8/AHI, MERRA-2, and CAMS Aerosol Products over China," has garnered 51 citations and stands as a cornerstone for understanding air pollution dynamics. In this study, Zang systematically assessed the reliability of aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from the geostationary Himawari-8 satellite, alongside the MERRA-2 and CAMS reanalysis datasets, demonstrating their critical value for capturing diurnal variations in aerosol loading. Her contributions have directly addressed the pressing need for high-resolution, temporally dense AOD data, enabling more precise monitoring of pollution events and improving air quality research. By validating these products against ground-based observations, Zang has provided a robust framework for using satellite and model data in environmental studies, significantly impacting the field of atmospheric science. Her work continues to inform policy and scientific efforts to mitigate air pollution in China.
