About
Maria-Elissavet Koukouli is an atmospheric physicist whose research focuses on the validation and refinement of satellite-based remote sensing products for atmospheric composition. Her major contributions lie in cross-validating space-borne measurements with ground-based observations, particularly for ultraviolet (UV) radiation and water vapor. Her most cited work, a 2017 study (49 citations), rigorously validated TEMIS satellite UV products against NILU-UV ground-based measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece, assessing key photobiological doses including erythemal UV, vitamin D production, and DNA damage. This work is critical for public health and environmental monitoring. She has also advanced the validation of TROPOMI/S5P Total Column Water Vapor (TCWV) against AERONET ground-based data (2023, 12 citations), addressing a key component of the greenhouse effect. By bridging satellite and surface observations, Koukouli ensures the accuracy of global atmospheric datasets, directly supporting climate research, UV risk assessment, and water cycle studies. Her meticulous validation studies are essential for improving satellite retrieval algorithms and enhancing our understanding of Earth’s radiative balance.
