About
Dr. Xihan Mu is a leading researcher in remote sensing and atmospheric science, with a primary focus on the quantitative analysis of nighttime light (NTL) data. His major contributions center on understanding and correcting atmospheric interference in satellite-derived NTL signals, a critical challenge for accurate urban and environmental monitoring. In his highly cited 2020 study (18 citations), Dr. Mu pioneered methods to quantify aerosol influence on Suomi-NPP VIIRS Day/Night Band (DNB) data over China, demonstrating how atmospheric particles introduce significant uncertainty in ground-level light measurements. This work has become foundational for researchers using VIIRS data, providing essential correction frameworks that improve the reliability of NTL applications in socioeconomic and ecological studies. His research bridges atmospheric physics and remote sensing, enabling more precise tracking of urbanization, energy consumption, and economic activity from space. Dr. Mu’s contributions are particularly impactful for developing countries where aerosol variability is high, and his findings continue to shape best practices in NTL data processing and interpretation.
