About

Dr. Theano Drosoglou is a leading atmospheric physicist whose research centers on the complex interactions between trace gases and aerosols, with a particular focus on improving the accuracy of satellite and ground-based remote sensing retrievals. Her most influential work, "Evaluating the effects of columnar NO₂ on the accuracy of aerosol optical properties retrievals" (2023), tackles a critical challenge in climate and air quality monitoring: the interference of nitrogen dioxide absorption in aerosol measurements. By systematically quantifying how NO₂ biases retrievals of aerosol optical depth, Ångström exponent, and single scattering albedo, Dr. Drosoglou has provided the community with essential correction methodologies that enhance data reliability from sun-sky radiometers worldwide. Her contributions are vital for refining climate models and pollution tracking, with her work already garnering attention from researchers in atmospheric chemistry and remote sensing. Through her rigorous approach to algorithm validation, she continues to advance our understanding of atmospheric composition, making her a key figure in the ongoing effort to disentangle the overlapping signals of gases and particles in our changing atmosphere.
