About
Prithviraj Mali is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol characterization and air quality monitoring, with a particular emphasis on integrating ground-based, satellite, and remote sensing techniques. His most cited work, "Aerosol Measurements over India: Comparison of MAX-DOAS Measurements with Ground-based (AERONET) and Satellite-based (MODIS) Data" (2023, 6 citations), represents a significant contribution to understanding aerosol vertical distribution in the Indian subcontinent. In this study, Mali deployed multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) instruments across three contrasting sites—urban Delhi and Pune, and high-altitude rural Mahabaleshwar—employing a profile retrieval algorithm to estimate vertical aerosol distributions. By systematically comparing these ground-based MAX-DOAS observations with AERONET and MODIS data, his work provides critical validation for satellite-derived aerosol products in a region with complex aerosol loading. This research is particularly valuable for improving air quality models and understanding transboundary pollution transport over South Asia. Mali’s work bridges critical gaps in aerosol monitoring infrastructure, offering actionable insights for environmental policy and public health in one of the world’s most polluted regions.
