About
Young-Je Park is a leading figure in satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, with a primary focus on geostationary observations over East Asia. Their most significant contribution is the development of the GOCI Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval (YAER) algorithm, which has fundamentally improved the monitoring of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and other aerosol properties from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI). Park’s work on YAER version 2, detailed in a 2018 paper with 147 citations, introduced enhanced error analysis and uncertainty estimation, validated over five years across East Asia. This built on their earlier 2016 paper (128 citations) validated during the DRAGON-NE Asia 2012 campaign. Park also advanced atmospheric correction for ocean color data under challenging high solar zenith angles (2020, 57 citations) and extended the YAER algorithm to GOCI-II (2023, 31 citations), ensuring continuity of long-term aerosol monitoring. Their research provides critical data for understanding air quality, climate forcing, and atmospheric dynamics in one of the world’s most aerosol-laden regions, making their work indispensable for both operational satellite missions and environmental science.
