About
Seungmi Yang’s research focuses on atmospheric remote sensing, with a particular emphasis on aerosol retrieval and the characterization of smoke plumes from biomass burning. Her most cited work, a 2002 study leveraging data from the GOES-8 imager and NOAA-14 AVHRR, introduced a novel method for retrieving smoke aerosol optical thickness over land during the SCAR-B experiment in Brazil. This contribution was critical for improving satellite-based monitoring of aerosol properties, especially in regions heavily impacted by seasonal fires. With nearly 30 citations, this paper remains a foundational reference for researchers studying the radiative effects of smoke aerosols and their transport. Yang’s work bridges satellite observations and atmospheric science, providing tools to better understand the climatic and environmental impacts of biomass burning. Her achievements highlight the importance of multi-sensor data fusion in advancing aerosol remote sensing, a key area for climate and air quality studies.
