About
Dr. Ling Gao is a leading figure in satellite aerosol remote sensing, with a focused expertise on advancing atmospheric composition monitoring over East Asia. Her primary research centers on the retrieval, validation, and uncertainty analysis of aerosol optical depth (AOD) from geostationary satellites, particularly the Himawari-8 platform. Dr. Gao’s major contributions include the first comprehensive evaluation of the JAXA Himawari-8 AOD product over China, a landmark study (36 citations) that rigorously validated satellite data against ground-based networks like AERONET and CARSNET, identifying key uncertainty sources to improve data reliability. She further advanced the field by developing an improved dark target method for AOD retrieval over China (23 citations), enhancing the accuracy of aerosol monitoring from this critical geostationary sensor. Her work is instrumental in bridging the gap between satellite observations and ground truth, providing essential data for climate modeling and air quality studies. By refining retrieval algorithms and quantifying error sources, Dr. Gao’s research directly supports more precise assessments of aerosol radiative forcing and pollution transport across the region, making her a vital contributor to environmental remote sensing science.
