About
Thamara Sauini is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing in the Amazon Basin, with a particular emphasis on improving remote sensing calibration techniques. Her major contribution lies in advancing the accuracy of aerosol optical depth retrievals using multi-filter rotating shadow-band radiometers (MFRSR), which are critical for understanding how Amazonian aerosols—from both pristine forest emissions and biomass burning—affect regional and global climate. In her most cited work (2019), Sauini performed on-site extraterrestrial calibration of an MFRSR using the Langley plot method under the exceptionally clean atmosphere of central Amazonia, a challenging environment where traditional calibration approaches often fail. This study, part of a long-term monitoring effort, has garnered 2 citations and provides foundational methodology for aerosol research in tropical rainforests. Her work directly supports the broader scientific goal of quantifying the Amazon’s role in Earth’s energy balance, making her research essential for climate modelers and remote sensing specialists studying land-atmosphere interactions.
