About
Myrto Gratsea is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the retrieval and characterization of tropospheric aerosols using advanced optical remote sensing techniques. Her most cited work, published in 2021, represents a significant contribution to the field by demonstrating the first successful retrieval of aerosol extinction profiles from ground-based MAX-DOAS measurements over Athens, Greece. This study established a novel methodology for deriving vertical aerosol distributions from scattered sunlight observations, providing critical data for understanding urban air pollution and its transport patterns. With 7 citations, this paper has already garnered attention from the atmospheric chemistry community for its innovative approach to aerosol profiling. Gratsea’s work bridges the gap between satellite observations and ground-based monitoring, offering high-resolution vertical information essential for climate modeling and air quality assessment. Her research in the Mediterranean basin, a region heavily impacted by both anthropogenic emissions and natural dust, provides valuable insights into aerosol dynamics. Through her methodological advancements, Gratsea is helping to refine our understanding of how aerosols influence radiative forcing and regional air quality, making her a rising contributor to environmental remote sensing and atmospheric chemistry.
