About
Dr. Maria Mylonaki is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on advancing ground-based remote sensing techniques for tropospheric aerosol characterization. Her major contributions center on the retrieval and evaluation of aerosol extinction profiles using multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS), a method that provides critical vertical distribution data essential for understanding air quality and climate interactions. In her most cited work (2021, 7 citations), she pioneered the first retrieval of aerosol extinction profiles from MAX-DOAS measurements over Athens, Greece, demonstrating the technique's viability in an urban Mediterranean environment with complex aerosol sources. This achievement has significant implications for satellite validation and pollution monitoring in data-sparse regions. Dr. Mylonaki's research bridges observational atmospheric chemistry and applied remote sensing, offering improved tools for tracking particulate matter dynamics. Her work is particularly notable for its methodological innovation in extracting vertical aerosol information from scattered sunlight spectra, a challenging task that enhances our understanding of boundary layer processes and long-range transport. Through these efforts, she contributes to the global effort to monitor and mitigate the health and environmental impacts of atmospheric aerosols.
