About
Sang Seo Park is a leading atmospheric scientist specializing in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a particular focus on East Asia. His research centers on developing and validating advanced algorithms to monitor aerosol optical properties, vertical distribution, and air quality from space. Park’s major contributions include pioneering the synergistic use of hyperspectral UV-visible (OMI) and broadband meteorological imager (MODIS) data to create merged aerosol products, significantly improving retrieval accuracy. He played a key role in the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) mission—the world’s first geostationary satellite instrument for atmospheric monitoring—providing groundbreaking aerosol data over Asia. His work on aerosol layer height (ALH) retrievals using oxygen absorption bands has been validated across multiple satellite platforms (GEMS, EPIC, TROPOMI), advancing our understanding of aerosol vertical structure and its climate impacts. With over 130 citations across his most influential papers, Park’s research has direct implications for air quality forecasting and climate modeling. Notably, his combined dust detection algorithm using MODIS infrared channels remains a foundational tool for studying dust transport over East Asia.
