About
Periklis Drakousis is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing and its implications for climate science. His work centers on evaluating and improving satellite-based aerosol measurements, particularly through the validation of spaceborne sensors against ground-based networks. His most cited study, "Global OMI Aerosol Single Scattering Albedo evaluation using ground-based AERONET" (2020), represents a significant contribution to the field by systematically comparing OMI satellite retrievals of aerosol single scattering albedo with AERONET ground observations on a global scale. This work helps reduce critical uncertainties in how aerosols influence Earth's radiative balance, a key challenge in climate modeling. By bridging satellite and ground-based methodologies, Drakousis provides essential quality assurance for aerosol datasets used by the broader climate research community. His research supports efforts to improve the accuracy of aerosol property retrievals, which are vital for understanding both direct and indirect aerosol effects on climate. With growing attention to satellite aerosol validation, his work continues to inform best practices in remote sensing and atmospheric science.
