About
Shrinivas Moorthi is a leading figure in global aerosol modeling and numerical weather prediction (NWP), whose work has been instrumental in advancing operational atmospheric science. His primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of multi-model aerosol forecasting systems, particularly through his contributions to the International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). Moorthi’s most cited work, a 2015 study on the ICAP Multi-Model Ensemble (ICAP-MME), has garnered over 130 citations and established the foundational climatological characteristics for a global operational aerosol consensus. This ensemble approach integrates outputs from the latest generation of quasi-operational aerosol models, providing a robust framework for both forecasting and basic research. By addressing the rapid proliferation of global aerosol models within NWP centers, Moorthi’s efforts have enhanced our ability to predict aerosol distributions—critical for air quality, climate, and weather interactions. His achievements reflect a deep commitment to bridging model diversity with operational reliability, making him a key contributor to the evolution of global aerosol prediction systems.
