About
Miguel Ricardo A. Hilario is an emerging leader in atmospheric science, whose research centers on aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions and the long-range transport of air pollution. His work uniquely bridges observational and remote-sensing approaches to understand how precipitation shapes aerosol lifecycles. In his highly cited 2021 study (51 citations), Hilario demonstrated how North American pollution outflow is transformed by precipitation along air trajectories arriving at Bermuda, providing critical insight into the wet removal of aerosols over the North Atlantic. More recently, he established an emerging aerosol climatology for Metro Manila, the Philippines, using nearly a decade of AERONET data (2009–2018). This foundational work characterizes the complex aerosol environment of Southeast Asia, where diverse topography and weather patterns challenge traditional monitoring. By revealing how local and transported pollutants interact, Hilario’s research has direct implications for air quality management and climate modeling in data-sparse tropical regions. His contributions are shaping our understanding of aerosol dynamics across both mid-latitude and tropical atmospheres, making him a key voice in the next generation of atmospheric chemists.
