About
Dr. Pradeep Khatri is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol radiative forcing, remote sensing, and the complex interplay between aerosols and climate. His most influential work, the 2016 study “Factors for inconsistent aerosol single scattering albedo between SKYNET and AERONET” (44 citations), systematically identified the causes of systematic discrepancies in aerosol absorption properties across major ground-based networks. By comparing data from sites in Japan, India, Spain, and Korea, Dr. Khatri provided critical insights that improved the reliability of aerosol optical property retrievals—a cornerstone for climate modeling. More recently, he has pioneered the use of machine learning in aerosol science, as demonstrated in his 2023 paper on spectral clustering for aerosol classification (15 citations) and his 2022 work classifying MODIS fire emissions using AERONET-derived absorption Ångström exponents (9 citations). These contributions advance our ability to distinguish aerosol types and sources, from urban pollution to biomass burning, with unprecedented accuracy. Dr. Khatri’s work bridges observational gaps and methodological innovations, making him a key figure in understanding how aerosols influence Earth’s energy balance and air quality.
