About
B. G. Henderson is a remote sensing scientist whose research focuses on satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval and the critical role of spatial resolution in atmospheric monitoring. His most influential work, "The effect of spatial resolution on satellite aerosol optical depth retrieval" (2005, 30 citations), demonstrated that increasing pixel size alone has minimal impact on AOD retrieval accuracy at specific study sites—a counterintuitive finding that helped refine methodologies for satellite aerosol observations. Henderson also made significant contributions to validation science through his 2005 study (22 citations) comparing AOD retrievals from the Multispectral Thermal Imager (MTI) and MODIS against ground-based AERONET measurements at NASA’s Stennis Space Center. This work provided essential cross-calibration benchmarks that improved confidence in satellite-derived aerosol products. By systematically evaluating how sensor characteristics affect retrieval quality, Henderson’s research has informed the design of atmospheric correction algorithms and helped bridge the gap between coarse-resolution satellite data and fine-scale aerosol variability. His studies remain foundational references for scientists working on aerosol-climate interactions and satellite remote sensing validation.
