About
Sungchul Choi is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol remote sensing, with a particular focus on Asian dust events and their optical properties. His most cited work, "Retrieval of Vertical Single-scattering Albedo of Asian dust using Multi-wavelength Raman Lidar System" (2013), introduces a novel methodology for calculating the single-scattering albedo of both pure nonspherical Asian dust particles and spherical pollution-mixed dust aerosols. By applying the inverse relationship between polarization extinction and dust mixing ratios, Choi developed a technique to separate dust from non-dust layers within the atmosphere. Using extinction coefficients at two wavelengths (355, 532 nm) and backscatter coefficients at three wavelengths (355, 532, 1064 nm), his inversion matrix analysis enables more accurate vertical profiling of dust optical properties. Though his citation count remains modest, this work provides a foundational framework for lidar-based dust characterization, contributing valuable tools for understanding aerosol radiative forcing and improving climate models. His research supports ongoing efforts to monitor transboundary dust transport and assess its environmental impacts.
