About
Myungje Choi is a prominent atmospheric scientist specializing in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, air quality monitoring, and radiative transfer over East Asia. His research has fundamentally advanced our understanding of aerosol optical properties through the development and refinement of the Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval (YAER) algorithm, applied across multiple geostationary satellite platforms including GOCI, GOCI-II, and Himawari-8/AHI. By enabling hourly aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals at high spatial resolution, Choi's work has transformed the capacity to monitor rapidly evolving aerosol pollution events across one of the world's most heavily affected regions. His comparative validation studies — evaluating VIIRS, GOCI, and MODIS retrievals against ground-based AERONET sunphotometer observations — have become essential references for the satellite remote sensing community, collectively accumulating hundreds of citations. Notably, his investigations into diurnal aerosol variations and PM₂.₅ estimation using geostationary data directly bridge satellite science and public health applications. His involvement in major international field campaigns, including DRAGON-NE Asia and KORUS-AQ, further underscores his leadership in collaborative atmospheric research. With over 700 cumulative citations across his most impactful works, Choi's contributions continue shaping next-generation geostationary air quality monitoring systems.
