About
Marios-Bruno Korras-Carraca is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the optical and radiative properties of aerosols and their impact on the Earth’s climate system. His work centers on the characterization of aerosol asymmetry parameters, single scattering albedo, and lidar ratio, primarily across Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and North Africa. A key contribution is his satellite-based analysis of aerosol asymmetry parameters using MODIS data, validated against ground-based AERONET measurements—a study that has garnered 22 citations and remains foundational for understanding aerosol radiative forcing in these regions. He has also advanced the use of CALIPSO retrievals by assessing the sensitivity of shortwave radiative effects to lidar ratio assumptions, and evaluated global OMI aerosol single scattering albedo against AERONET, improving the accuracy of satellite-derived aerosol properties. Through these efforts, Korras-Carraca has helped refine how satellite observations capture aerosol–radiation interactions, directly supporting more reliable climate modeling and radiative budget estimates. His work is particularly valuable for researchers studying aerosol–climate feedbacks and the regional climate impacts of particulate pollution.
