About
Driven by the need for precise Earth observation, Xiuqing Hu has pioneered the use of the Moon as a stable calibration target for satellite sensors. His foundational work, including the development of a novel hyperspectral lunar irradiance model (19 citations), directly addresses the challenge of using the lunar surface as a standard for radiometric calibration. By comparing lunar models with hyper-spectral observations from Lijiang, China (14 citations), Hu has significantly reduced uncertainties in this critical technique. His research extends to cross-calibrating multiple sensors using the Moon as an intermediate reference (11 citations), ensuring data consistency across satellite platforms. Beyond calibration, Hu is a leading figure in aerosol retrieval. He has developed improved algorithms for China’s Fengyun-3D MERSI-II (7 citations) and the Directional Polarimetric Camera on GF-5 (7 citations), enhancing global aerosol optical depth (AOD) monitoring. His latest work on the FY-3F MERSI-III provides the first validated results for this new sensor. With over 59 citations, Hu’s contributions are essential for ensuring the accuracy of climate and environmental data from Chinese satellite missions.
