About
Dr. Yuemeng Ji is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the vertical distribution, optical properties, and radiative effects of aerosols, with a particular emphasis on the complex interactions between natural and anthropogenic particles over East Asia. Her major contributions include pioneering work on how dust and anthropogenic pollution mix in the atmosphere, demonstrating that this mixing significantly enhances light absorption—a critical factor often underestimated in climate models. Her landmark 2017 study on aerosol vertical distribution over China, which has garnered over 150 citations, provided the first comprehensive, long-term analysis using satellite (CALIOP) and ground-based (AERONET) remote sensing data, revealing pronounced seasonal and spatial patterns. This work is foundational for understanding regional air quality and climate forcing. Dr. Ji’s 2018 study on radiative absorption enhancement of mixed dust and pollution, with nearly 100 citations, further solidified her reputation by quantifying a key uncertainty in aerosol radiative forcing. Her research is instrumental for improving climate predictions and informing pollution control strategies in one of the world’s most aerosol-affected regions.
