About
Shusheng Cao is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on aerosol remote sensing, air quality monitoring, and the validation of satellite-derived aerosol products. His major contributions center on evaluating the accuracy of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals, particularly over complex land surfaces. In his most-cited work, published in 2023, Cao systematically assessed the performance of MODIS Deep Blue (DT), Dark Target (DB), and MAIAC aerosol products across diverse land cover types in the Yangtze River Delta, China. By leveraging ground-based measurements from the Aerosol Robotic Network and Sun–Sky Radiometer Observation Network, he provided critical insights into retrieval uncertainties and regional biases. This study, with 9 citations, has become a key reference for improving satellite aerosol algorithms and supporting climate and environmental research. Cao’s work is instrumental in advancing our understanding of aerosol impacts on regional air quality and climate, making him a valuable contributor to the field of atmospheric remote sensing.
