About
Simone Lolli is a leading figure in aerosol remote sensing, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how tiny particles in the atmosphere interact with clouds and travel across continents. His research primarily focuses on the vertical distribution and optical properties of aerosols, using a powerful combination of ground-based lidar networks and satellite observations. Lolli is instrumental in the NASA Micro Pulse Lidar Network (MPLNET), where his contributions to developing new data products and the polarized MPL have been cited over 60 times, providing the global community with critical tools for profiling the atmosphere. His landmark 2014 study, with 78 citations, provided some of the first direct observations of how polluted clouds can dramatically enhance aerosol optical depth, a key process in understanding climate forcing. Lolli’s work also spans critical regional air quality issues, from evaluating satellite data accuracy over China to tracking the long-range transport of haze and biomass burning emissions across Southeast Asia. By bridging ground-based validation with satellite-scale observations, his research is essential for improving climate models and air quality forecasts.
