About
Ukkyo Jeong is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing, air quality monitoring, and the development of satellite retrieval algorithms, with particular emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region. His most significant contributions center on advancing methods to retrieve aerosol optical properties from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, including pioneering work on the GOCI Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval (YAER) algorithm for the world's first geostationary ocean color imager, which has garnered over 128 citations. Jeong has played an integral role in the DRAGON-NE Asia campaign networks, contributing to internationally collaborative efforts to validate and compare aerosol measurements across Northeast Asia, work recognized with over 100 citations. His development of optimal estimation-based retrieval algorithms for instruments such as GEMS and OMI demonstrates a commitment to rigorous, statistically robust approaches to monitoring atmospheric composition over Asia. Additionally, his empirical modeling work linking satellite observations to surface-level PM10 concentrations over Seoul highlights the real-world public health relevance of his science. Across his career, Jeong has helped lay critical groundwork for next-generation geostationary air quality monitoring across the Asian continent.
