About
Zhengpeng Li is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol optical properties, atmospheric composition, and the development of advanced photometric measurement techniques. His most significant contribution lies in pioneering methods for determining nocturnal aerosol optical depth (AOD) using lunar photometry, a critical advancement that enables continuous, round-the-clock monitoring of atmospheric aerosols. His highly cited 2024 study, "Evaluation of Nocturnal Aerosol Optical Depth Determining From a Lunar Photometry in Lanzhou of Northwest China," has garnered 6 citations and demonstrates the operational use of the Cimel Sun-sky-lunar photometer (CE318-T) to capture the full diurnal cycle of AOD. This work addresses a long-standing gap in aerosol research, as nighttime observations are essential for understanding aerosol transport, radiative forcing, and air quality dynamics. By refining extraterrestrial lunar irradiance models and calibration protocols, Li has enhanced the accuracy of nocturnal photometric measurements, directly benefiting climate modeling and environmental monitoring. His research is instrumental for scientists studying aerosol-climate interactions and for agencies developing ground-based remote sensing networks.
