FIELDS OF SPECIALIZATION

Atmospheric chemistry, remote sensing of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols, theory and numerical methods in radiative transfer, retrieval algorithm development of atmospheric composition (aerosols and gases) from space (atmosphere, ocean and volcanic plumes monitoring) and ground air quality research.


EXPERIENCE SUMMARY

Dr. Nickolay A. Krotkov has over 30 years experience in radiative transfer, remote sensing observations, retrieval algorithm development, data analysis and research in the field of atmospheric composition (gases and aerosols). His Ph. D work in oceanography included radiative transfer modeling of the polarization effects of the solar radiation in the atmosphere-ocean system, as applied to passive spectral and polarization remote sensing of the atmospheric aerosols and water quality. Since 1993 he works with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists to improve retrievals and understanding of Earth’s gas species such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and aerosols using remote sensing observations from satellite platforms and ground. His experience in radiative transfer and retrievals has led to algorithms for operational satellite data production. He developed first satellite algorithm for mapping surface UV irradiance from TOMS ozone and reflectivity data, which was adopted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) production data (2004-current). In 2004 he developed a passive remote sensing method that led to discovery of enhanced column UV aerosol absorption due to organic aerosol. In part through his work absorbing aerosols (e.g., “brown” organic carbon) are now recognized as key to a complete understanding of surface UV radiation and atmospheric photochemistry. He developed a first operational OMI algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide from volcanoes and anthropogenic pollution and serves as principle investigator for the OMI volcanic and pollution sulfur dioxide products. Dr. Krotkov’s empirical and theoretical analysis of the sulfur dioxide data has led to quantification of passive emissions from active volcanoes and of anthropogenic pollution sources affecting air quality in North America, Europe, Russia, Chian, and India. Satellite volcanic SO2 data are now used in near real-time for detection of aviation hazards. In 2008 he developed an improved multiangle UV algorithm to derive vertical profile of ozone from ground based Brewer spectrometer data. Since 2010 he serves as PI for the OMI operational NO2 data. He demonstrated the great value that satellite sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide data have in remotely identifying and quantifying point sources of emissions to the atmosphere. He is currently member of NASA Aura. EV-I TEMPO and DSCOVER/EPIC science teams, and disasters response team.

PRECEDING POSITIONS


Senior Research Scientist, Goddard Earth Scienes and Technology (GEST) Center ,

University of Maryland Baltimore County, Oct 2000 – November 2010

Conducted scientific investigations to improve the understanding of Earth’s troposphere gas species such as sulfur dioxide, ozone and aerosols using remote sensing observations from satellite platforms and ground. His satellite algorithm for mapping surface UV irradiance from TOMS ozone and reflectivity data was adopted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) production data. He later developed a new algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide from volcanoes and anthropogenic pollution, which was adopted as the standard OMI data product. Since 2006 he served as principle investigator for the OMI volcanic and pollution sulfur dioxide products. Dr. Krotkov’s empirical and theoretical analysis of the sulfur dioxide data has led to quantification of passive emissions from active volcanoes and of anthropogenic pollution sources affecting air quality in North America, Europe, Russia, China, and South America. These data are now used in near real-time by NOAA for detection of aviation hazards from volcanic eruption clouds. For this work he was recipient of NASA group achivement awards (2005,2008), 2006 Pecora TOMS team award and the 2009 R.H. Goddard Exceptional Achievement in Science Award. In 2004 he developed a method that led to discovery of enhanced column UV aerosol absorption due to organic aerosol. In part through his work at GSFC absorbing aerosols (black and organic carbon, dust) are now recognized as key to a complete understanding of atmospheric chemistry, for they have large effects on ultraviolet radiation, and on photolysis rates of key pollution gases (ozone and nitrogen dioxide ). In 2008 he developed an improved multiangle ultra-violet algorithm to derive the vertical profile of ozone from ground based Brewer spectrometer data. Supervisor – Prof. Ray Hoff

Current Projects

PI. Continuation of Multi-Decadal Global SO2 and NO2 Earth Science Data Records

Earth's Atmosphere

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources have profound, long-term impacts on atmospheric composition, air quality (e.g., precursors of ozone and aerosols), ecosystems (e.g., acid rain and eutrophication) and the climate. They also provide timely updates on activity data, for example, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Long-term, coherent multi-satellite SO2 and NO2 Earth Science Data Records (ESDRs) are critical for detecting changes in atmospheric composition and for projecting future changes in air quality and climate. Building such records requires sustained effort to develop ESDRs from different instruments, old and new, by processing them in a consistent fashion. 

           Our international team includes collaborators from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), Michigan Technological University (MTU), St. Louis Washington University, University of Maryland, and Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program, which have unique multi-decadal experience in producing and harmonizing SO2 and NO2 data from spaceborne instruments. Under the auspices of MEaSUREs-2012 (SO2) and MEaSUREs-2017 (NO2), we have released multiple ESDRs including our unique “top down” SO2 emission estimates from volcanic and anthropogenic sources. These ESDRs are produced with both current and legacy instruments that date back to the 1970s for SO2 and to the 1990s for NO2. They have been widely used by atmospheric, climate, and health scientists, air quality managers, economists, and geologists. The science value of these ESDRs grows significantly with their length, and it is critical to update and extend them as data continue to be acquired by current instruments:
