About
Wellington de Jesus is a leading atmospheric scientist whose work focuses on aerosol characterization and air quality monitoring, particularly in urban environments. His major contributions center on pioneering lidar-based remote sensing in Brazil, providing critical insights into the vertical distribution of aerosols. His most-cited paper, "A Four-Year Lidar–Sun Photometer Aerosol Study at São Paulo, Brazil" (2008, 8 citations), introduced the first backscattering lidar system in the country, enabling detailed profiling of aerosol backscatter coefficients up to 4–6 km altitude over São Paulo. This work has been instrumental in understanding pollution dynamics and aerosol transport in megacities, with implications for climate and health research. De Jesus’s research combines ground-based lidar with sun photometer data, offering a robust framework for long-term aerosol monitoring. His achievements include advancing atmospheric observation infrastructure in South America and contributing to global aerosol studies. With a focus on bridging observational gaps, his work continues to inform environmental policy and scientific understanding of urban air quality.
