Brief Bio

As a research scientist within Deep Blue Aerosol Group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Dr. Jaehwa Lee's research focuses on developing aerosol retrieval algorithms for passive satellite sensors in both LEO and GEO to provide the scientific community with better aerosol data sets to work with. His recent work at Goddard includes improving aerosol optical property models in the Deep Blue aerosol algorithms particularly for nonspherical mineral dust aerosols, retrieving aerosol layer height synergistically using multiple passive satellite sensors, and extending aerosol data coverage to the areas covered by thin cirrus clouds.
