About
Midyan Aldabash is an environmental scientist specializing in atmospheric aerosol dynamics and satellite remote sensing, with a particular focus on the Eastern Mediterranean region. Her research centers on validating and improving aerosol optical depth (AOD) products from major satellite and reanalysis systems, including NASA’s MODIS (C6.1) and MERRA-2. In her highly cited 2020 study (67 citations), she rigorously validated these datasets against ground-based AERONET observations across Turkey, providing critical quality assessments for aerosol monitoring in a region with complex atmospheric conditions. Her companion 2020 work (60 citations) advanced the field by developing a long-term AOD trend analysis for the Eastern Mediterranean, introducing a novel merged aerosol product that enhances data consistency and reliability. These contributions have been instrumental in refining satellite-derived aerosol retrievals, supporting climate modeling, and informing air quality studies. With over 127 combined citations from these two landmark papers, Aldabash’s work is widely recognized for bridging observational gaps and improving our understanding of aerosol variability in a climatically sensitive area.
