About
Dr. Manoj K. Mishra is a leading atmospheric scientist specializing in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a particular focus on the Indian subcontinent and surrounding oceans. His groundbreaking work has centered on developing and validating operational algorithms for retrieving Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)—a critical climate and air quality parameter—from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. Dr. Mishra pioneered the first operational AOD retrieval from India’s INSAT-3D geostationary satellite (2014, 7 citations), later refining the algorithm to reduce uncertainties over complex Asian landmasses (2018, 30 citations). He further advanced the field by creating the SAER algorithm for OceanSat-2 OCM, enabling sub-kilometer resolution AOD retrievals despite the sensor’s limited spectral bands (2023, 8 citations). His recent work includes developing a global aerosol model (AEROEX) from 30 years of AERONET data (2025, 3 citations) and applying machine learning to estimate particulate matter from satellite data (2024, 2 citations). With a career spanning foundational algorithm development to cutting-edge data fusion, Dr. Mishra’s contributions are instrumental in improving air quality monitoring and climate modeling across data-sparse regions.
