About
Dr. Yijin Qi is a leading figure in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a career dedicated to unraveling the complex interactions between atmospheric particles and climate over East Asia. Her foundational work focuses on developing and applying advanced retrieval algorithms to create long-term, high-quality datasets of aerosol optical depth (AOD). Her most cited study, "Long-term aerosol optical depth datasets over China retrieved from satellite data" (2011, 13 citations), is a landmark contribution that provided the first comprehensive, nine-year AOD record over China using the innovative Synergetic Retrieval of Aerosol Properties (SRAP) method. This dataset, spanning from 2002 to 2011, has become an essential resource for climate modelers and atmospheric scientists, enabling more accurate assessments of aerosol radiative forcing and air quality trends. By bridging the gap between raw satellite observations and usable climate data, Dr. Qi’s work has directly supported critical research on pollution transport and regional climate change, cementing her reputation as a key architect of China’s atmospheric monitoring infrastructure.
