About
Neranga Hannadige is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on advancing aerosol remote sensing and atmospheric correction for next-generation satellite missions. Her primary contributions lie in developing algorithms that improve the accuracy of aerosol property retrievals and surface reflectance measurements, particularly over ocean environments. In her highly cited 2021 work, she introduced the POLYAC algorithm, a fast polynomial-based atmospheric correction method for hyperspectral radiometers that leverages multi-angle polarimetric aerosol retrievals—a technique critical for reducing uncertainties in ocean color remote sensing. Her 2025 study presents the first aerosol retrieval results from the SPEXone instrument aboard NASA’s PACE mission, validating the Remote sensing of Trace gas and Aerosol Products algorithm over both land and ocean. This work, already garnering 20 citations, demonstrates her role in operationalizing cutting-edge polarimetric data for global aerosol monitoring. With a growing citation impact, Hannadige’s research bridges the gap between polarimetric theory and practical satellite applications, directly supporting climate studies and air quality assessments. Her achievements mark her as a key contributor to the next generation of Earth-observing missions.
