About

Windy Iriana is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol optical properties and their climatic impacts, with a particular focus on Southeast Asia. Her most-cited work, "Aerosols optical and radiative properties in Indonesia based on AERONET version 3" (2022, 13 citations), provides a critical baseline for understanding how aerosols—from biomass burning, urban pollution, and natural sources—influence regional radiation budgets and air quality. By leveraging long-term AERONET data, Iriana has characterized aerosol types, size distributions, and direct radiative forcing across Indonesia, offering essential insights for climate modeling and environmental policy in a region heavily affected by peatland fires and transboundary haze. Her contributions are especially valuable for researchers studying aerosol–cloud interactions in tropical maritime continents. With a growing citation record, Iriana’s work is increasingly recognized for bridging ground-based observations and satellite remote sensing, making her a key voice in Southeast Asian aerosol science. Her dedication to improving aerosol datasets in data-sparse regions underscores her role in advancing both fundamental atmospheric research and practical mitigation strategies.
