About

Rodanthi-Elisavet Mamouri is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol microphysics, lidar remote sensing, and the complex interactions between aerosols, clouds, and climate. Her major contributions center on advancing the POLIPHON (Polarization Lidar Photometer Networking) methodology, a transformative framework that converts aerosol optical profiles into detailed microphysical properties—including cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice-nucleating particle (INP) concentrations. Her 2026 update to POLIPHON, which refines conversion factors across multiple laser wavelengths (355, 355, 532, 911, and 1064 nm), has been cited 3 times and represents a critical tool for the global lidar and ceilometer community. Mamouri’s work enables researchers to extract aerosol-type-dependent information from ground-based remote sensing networks, directly supporting studies on aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions and climate forcing. Her achievements include pioneering the integration of polarization lidar data with in situ and satellite observations, significantly improving the accuracy of aerosol typing and vertical profiling. With a citation record that underscores her influence, Mamouri continues to shape our understanding of how aerosols modulate cloud formation and the hydrological cycle, making her research indispensable for climate modelers and atmospheric scientists worldwide.
