About
Richard M. van Hees is a leading figure in atmospheric remote sensing, with a primary focus on aerosol retrieval from spaceborne instruments. His key research areas include the development and validation of advanced algorithms for characterizing atmospheric aerosols, particularly using polarimetric measurements. Van Hees made a major contribution to the field through his work on the SPEXone instrument aboard NASA’s PACE mission, where he led the first aerosol retrieval results over both land and ocean. His paper detailing these findings, published in 2025, has already garnered 20 citations, underscoring its immediate impact. This work demonstrates the power of multi-angle polarimetry for improving aerosol optical depth and property retrievals, a critical step for climate and air quality studies. Van Hees’s expertise in algorithm development and validation has positioned him as a key contributor to next-generation satellite missions, advancing our ability to monitor atmospheric particles from space with unprecedented accuracy.
