About
Eyal Freud is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol–climate interactions, with a particular focus on satellite remote sensing of aerosol optical properties and their long-term trends. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of how aerosols vary over time and respond to meteorological drivers. Freud’s most-cited study, “Trends in MODIS and AERONET derived aerosol optical thickness over Northern Europe” (2019, 18 citations), provides a rigorous intercomparison of satellite and ground-based observations, revealing critical insights into the consistency and biases of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) retrievals across different MODIS data collections. In a complementary study (2018, 9 citations), he investigated the effect of wind speed on MODIS aerosol optical depth over the North Pacific, demonstrating how surface winds modulate aerosol loading in remote marine environments. These contributions are vital for improving aerosol transport models and refining satellite retrieval algorithms. Freud’s work is notable for its methodological rigor in merging multi-platform datasets, offering a benchmark for long-term aerosol monitoring. His research directly supports climate and air quality assessments, making him a respected voice in the field of satellite-based atmospheric observation.
