About
Raul Laasner is a leading figure in aerosol remote sensing, with his work central to advancing satellite-based atmospheric monitoring. His primary research focuses on the retrieval and validation of aerosol optical properties, particularly through the innovative use of polarimetric measurements. Laasner’s most significant contribution is his pivotal role in the first aerosol retrievals from the SPEXone instrument aboard NASA’s PACE mission. His landmark 2025 paper, already garnering 20 citations, presents the initial validation of these retrievals over both land and ocean using the Remote sensing of Trace gas and Aerosol Products algorithm. This work is critical for improving our understanding of aerosol radiative forcing and air quality. By demonstrating the operational capability of SPEXone’s spectropolarimetry, Laasner has provided the scientific community with a powerful new tool for global aerosol characterization. His achievements mark a major step forward in satellite remote sensing, offering unprecedented accuracy in measuring the microphysical and optical properties of atmospheric particles.
