Yisong Xie

Dr. Yisong Xie, assistant professor of Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, member of State Key Laboratory of Satellite Remote Sensing for Environmental Protection. He obtained his doctorate in Cartography and Geography Information System from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2014. His research activities concern remote sensing of the atmospheric environment and mainly focus on polarimetric satellite observation, aerosol retrieval, and applications. He has contributed to data process, in-orbit calibration, inversion algorithms, and validation of China’s polarimetric satellite sensors in recent years, including Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC) onboard Gaofen-5 satellite, and DPC-II & Particulate Observing Scanning Polarimeter (POSP) onboard Gaofen-5(02). He has also been engaged in research on remote sensing retrieval of aerosol composition. He has developed a method to quantitatively derive the columnar mass concentration of aerosol components using ground-based remote sensing measurement, including black carbon, brown carbon, mineral dust, ammonia-sulfate, particulate organic matter, sea salt, and water uptake.

He is the author (co-authors) of 31 peer-reviewed papers published in SCI journals including Remote Sensing of Environment, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, etc. He is the project leader of a General Program and a Youth Fund Program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and a participant of the National Key Research and Development Program. He has won the Beijing Natural Science Award, the Environmental Protection Science and Technology Award, and the Surveying and Mapping Science and Technology Progress Award.
