About
Shihao Tang is a leading figure in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a focused expertise in retrieving aerosol properties from multi-angle polarimetric measurements. His work is central to advancing China’s capabilities in atmospheric monitoring, particularly through his contributions to the Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC) aboard the GaoFen-5 (GF-5) satellite. Tang’s most cited study, "Aerosol Retrieval over Land from the Directional Polarimetric Camera Aboard on GF-5" (2022, 7 citations), established the DPC as China’s first operational instrument for multi-angle polarized aerosol observations, filling a critical gap left by the end of the POLDER mission. This work demonstrates his ability to develop robust retrieval algorithms that leverage polarization’s sensitivity to aerosol microphysics—such as particle size, shape, and refractive index—over complex land surfaces. In a subsequent study (2023, 1 citation), Tang further validated these advantages by retrieving Aerosol Optical Depth and fine-mode fraction over East Asia using PARASOL data, underscoring the superiority of photopolarimetric over intensity-only methods. His research directly supports air quality monitoring and climate modeling, making him a key contributor to the next generation of Chinese satellite missions. Tang’s achievements highlight his role in bridging cutting-edge polarimetric theory with operational satellite systems.
