About

Dr. Sunling Gong is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the interaction between atmospheric circulation and aerosol pollution, with a particular emphasis on the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. Her work addresses a critical gap in understanding how large-scale weather patterns influence the distribution and optical properties of aerosols. In her highly cited 2020 study, Dr. Gong employed an objective circulation classification method to analyze the impact of atmospheric circulation on aerosol optical characteristics, integrating PM2.5 observations, meteorological data, and AERONET retrievals. This innovative approach provided new insights into the mechanisms driving regional haze events, offering a framework for predicting pollution episodes under varying climatic conditions. With over 15 citations, her research has become a key reference for scientists studying aerosol-climate interactions in subtropical urban environments. Dr. Gong's contributions are vital for improving air quality forecasts and developing effective pollution mitigation strategies, making her a respected voice in the fields of atmospheric chemistry and environmental meteorology.
