About
Dr. S. Hlaing is a leading expert in ocean color remote sensing, with a primary focus on the calibration and validation of satellite data for coastal and open-ocean environments. Her work centers on improving the accuracy of data processing schemes for sensors like the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the JPSS-Suomi satellite. In her highly cited 2013 study, Dr. Hlaing rigorously evaluated NASA’s Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) calibration methods using in-situ measurements from coastal AERONET-OC sites, providing critical insights into the performance of on-board calibration for visible bands. This contribution has been foundational for refining algorithms that ensure reliable ocean color data, directly supporting research on phytoplankton dynamics, water quality, and carbon cycling. Her research bridges the gap between satellite observations and ground truth, enhancing the utility of global ocean color records. With over 4 citations on this pivotal paper alone, Dr. Hlaing’s work continues to influence the next generation of oceanographic remote sensing, making her a key figure in advancing our understanding of coastal and marine ecosystems through precise satellite monitoring.
