About
Maria Filioglou is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol climatology and the validation of long-term remote sensing observations. Her work is central to understanding how ground-based lidar and sunphotometer networks can be cross-compared to produce reliable, consistent datasets for climate and air quality studies. Her most cited paper, “Are EARLINET and AERONET climatologies consistent? The case of Thessaloniki, Greece” (2018, 42 citations), investigates the climatological behavior of aerosol optical properties over a 15-year period (2003–2017). By deploying two independent instruments—a lidar from the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) and a sunphotometer from AERONET—she demonstrated how these networks can be harmonized to produce consistent aerosol climatologies. This work is critical for improving satellite validation and climate model inputs. Filioglou’s research has direct implications for understanding aerosol radiative forcing and atmospheric composition in urban and coastal environments. Her contributions help bridge the gap between active and passive remote sensing, making her a key figure in advancing aerosol observation methodologies.
