About
Nicolas Pascal is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol profiling and the integration of remote sensing technologies, particularly through the synergy of lidar and sun-photometer measurements. His most cited work, "Combined sun-photometer–lidar inversion: lessons learned during the EARLINET/ACTRIS COVID-19 campaign" (2023), exemplifies his major contribution to advancing aerosol retrieval methodologies. This paper, which has garnered 5 citations, documents critical insights from a pan-European observational campaign conducted during the COVID-19 lockdown in May 2020, a period of unprecedented atmospheric change. By analyzing data from the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) within the Aerosols, Clouds and Trace gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS), Pascal helped refine inversion techniques that improve the accuracy of aerosol vertical profiling. His work is notable for its practical impact on operational lidar networks, providing a framework for future campaigns and enhancing our understanding of aerosol optical properties during extreme anthropogenic emission reductions. Pascal’s research is essential for students and researchers in atmospheric physics, offering a model for collaborative, infrastructure-driven science that addresses both methodological challenges and real-world environmental monitoring.
