About
Yongjoo Choi is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol optical properties, air quality, and remote sensing, with a particular focus on the Korean peninsula. His most impactful work, "Temporal and spatial variations of aerosol optical properties over the Korean peninsula during KORUS-AQ" (2021, 28 citations), provides critical insights into how aerosols vary across space and time during major field campaigns. Choi has made foundational contributions to aerosol classification, developing methods to identify columnar aerosol types—such as mineral dust and black carbon mixtures—using AERONET data, as demonstrated in his 2016 study (24 citations) that estimated concentrations of absorbing and scattering fine mode components. His 2016 paper on identifying aerosol types under high optical depth conditions (18 citations) further advanced the understanding of complex aerosol mixtures in East Asia. Notably, Choi’s work addresses key methodological challenges, including cloud-screening algorithms for skyradiometers and the clear-sky bias in PM10 data, enhancing the accuracy of satellite and ground-based measurements. With a career dedicated to unraveling the interplay between natural and anthropogenic aerosols, Choi’s research is indispensable for improving air quality models and climate assessments in one of the world’s most aerosol-diverse regions.
