About
Dr. Yunhui Tan is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the validation and application of satellite-based aerosol remote sensing, particularly over East Asia. Her major contributions lie in rigorously assessing the accuracy of aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals from geostationary and polar-orbiting sensors, including Himawari-8 and POLDER-3/GRASP. Her most influential work, a 2018 study validating Himawari-8 AOD products over China, has garnered 107 citations, establishing a critical benchmark for using these high-temporal-resolution data in air quality and climate studies. She further extended this work by evaluating spatiotemporal AOD variations in Japan using Himawari-8 L3 V31 products, demonstrating their utility for regional environmental monitoring. Dr. Tan’s validation efforts using AERONET ground-based measurements have been essential for improving satellite retrieval algorithms and ensuring data reliability for downstream applications. Her research directly supports the use of satellite observations to track pollution transport, assess radiative forcing, and inform public health policies across East Asia.
