About
Xianqiang He is a leading figure in satellite ocean color remote sensing, whose work has fundamentally advanced how we correct for atmospheric interference to see the ocean beneath. His research focuses on the critical challenge of atmospheric correction, particularly in complex environments like coastal waters, high-latitude oceans, and under high solar zenith angles. He has made major contributions by developing and evaluating new aerosol models that dramatically improve data accuracy in regions where standard algorithms fail. His 2020 paper on correcting geostationary satellite data under challenging solar conditions has garnered 57 citations, while his 2023 work on absorbing aerosols in coastal waters has already reached 30 citations. He has also led comprehensive assessments of correction methods for Sentinel-3 OLCI (18 citations) and pioneered the restoration of wintertime ocean color products for the Southern Hemisphere (16 citations). Notably, his 2023 study establishing global gridded aerosol models for inland and nearshore waters (12 citations) addresses a long-standing problem in the field, and his innovative work on retrieving polarization components of water-leaving radiance opens new frontiers for polarimetric satellite sensors. Through these efforts, He is enabling more accurate monitoring of marine ecosystems from space.
