FIELDS OF SPECIALIZATION

Remote sensing of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols, theory and numerical methods in radiative transfer, retrieval algorithm development of atmospheric composition for volcanic plumes monitoring and air quality applications.

EXPERIENCE SUMMARY

Dr. Nickolay A. Krotkov has over 40 years experience in radiative transfer, remote sensing algorithm development and data analysis in the field of atmospheric composition (gases and aerosols). His Ph. D work in oceanography included radiative transfer modeling of the polarization effects of the solar radiation in the atmosphere-ocean system, as applied to passive spectral and polarization remote sensing of the atmospheric aerosols and water quality. Since 1993 he works with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists to improve ground and satellite retrievals and understanding of Earth’s trace gas species such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone and aerosols. His experience in radiative transfer and retrievals has led to algorithms for operational satellite data production. He developed first satellite algorithm for mapping surface spectral UV irradiance including UV Index from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) ozone and reflectivity data, which was adopted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI, 2004 - current) and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI, 2017 - current) production data.

In 2004 he developed a ground-based remote sensing method that led to discovery of enhanced column UV aerosol absorption due to "brown" organic carbon aerosol. In part through his work absorbing aerosols are now recognized as key to an improved understanding of surface UV radiation and atmospheric photochemistry. He developed a first operational OMI algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide (SO₂) from volcanoes and anthropogenic pollution, which led to quantification of passive SO₂ emissions from active volcanoes and large anthropogenic point pollution sources. Satellite volcanic SO₂ data are now used in near real-time for detection of aviation hazards. In 2008 he developed an improved multiangle UV algorithm to derive vertical profile of ozone from ground based Brewer spectrometer data. Since 2010 he serves as PI for the OMI operational NO₂ data. He is currently member of NASA Aura, TEMPO, PACE, and DSCOVER/EPIC science teams, and volcanic disasters response team.

Research Interests

Satellite remote sensing of atmospheric composition from NASA EOS Aura and NASA/NOAA JPSS missions

Earth Science: Remote Sensing

Trace gas (SO₂, NO₂) retrievals from multispectral (TOMS, DSCOVR/EPIC) and UV -Vis hyperspectral instruments, e.g., Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA EOS Aura, 2004- current.

Theory and numerical methods in Radiative Transfer

Earth Science: Solar Radiation

Radiative transfer numerical modeling of the angular and polarization effects of the solar radiation propagation in the atmosphere-ocean system, as applied to passive spectral and polarization remote sensing of the atmospheric aerosols and water quality.

Satellite mapping of surface and underwater UV irradiance

Earth Science: Surface Properties

Developed first retrieval algorithms for global mapping of surface and underwater UV irradiance from NASA TOMS missions (1978-2005) and Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (2004-current) mission. Developing algorithms for NASA PACE Ocean Color Instrument retrievals of hyperspectral water leaving reflectances and UV penetration depths.

Satellite tracking of volcanic clouds

Earth Science: Remote Sensing

Developed a first operational Aura OMI algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide (SO₂ ) from volcanoes and anthropogenic pollution. Analysis of the sulfur dioxide data has led to quantification of passive emissions from volcanoes and of anthropogenic pollution sources affecting air quality. Satellite volcanic SO₂ data are now used in direct readout and near real-time for detection of aviation hazards.

Current Projects

PI. Continuation of Multi-Decadal Global SO2 and NO2 Earth Science Data Records

Earth's Atmosphere

Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) emitted from anthropogenic and natural sources have profound, long-term impacts on atmospheric composition, air quality (e.g., precursors of ozone and aerosols), ecosystems (e.g., acid rain and eutrophication) and the climate. They also provide timely updates on activity data, for example, during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Long-term, coherent multi-satellite SO₂ andNO₂ Earth Science Data Records (ESDRs) are critical for detecting changes in atmospheric composition and for projecting future changes in air quality and climate. Building such records requires sustained effort to develop ESDRs from different instruments, old and new, by processing them in a consistent fashion.

Our international team includes collaborators from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), Michigan Technological University (MTU), St. Louis Washington University, University of Maryland, and Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program, which have unique multi-decadal experience in producing and harmonizing SO₂ and NO₂data from spaceborne instruments. Under the auspices of MEaSUREs-2012 (SO₂) and MEaSUREs-2017 (NO₂), we have released multiple ESDRs including our unique “top down” SO₂ emission estimates from volcanic and anthropogenic sources. These ESDRs are produced with both current and legacy instruments that date back to the 1970s for SO₂ and to the 1990s for NO₂. They have been widely used by atmospheric, climate, and health scientists, air quality managers, economists, and geologists. The science value of these ESDRs grows significantly with their length, and it is critical to update and extend them as data continue to be acquired by current instruments:

October 2000 - November 2010

Dr. Krotkov led scientific investigations to improve the understanding of Earth’s troposphere gas species such as sulfur dioxide, ozone and aerosols using remote sensing observations from satellite platforms and ground. His satellite algorithm for mapping surface ultraviolet irradiance (UV index) from TOMS ozone and reflectivity data was adopted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) for the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) production data. He later developed a new algorithm for retrieving sulfur dioxide from volcanoes and anthropogenic pollution, which was adopted as the standard OMI data product. In 2004 he developed a method that led to discovery of enhanced column UV aerosol absorption due to organic aerosol. In part through his work at GSFC absorbing aerosols (black and organic carbon, dust) are now recognized as key to a complete understanding of atmospheric chemistry, for they have large effects on ultraviolet radiation, and on photolysis rates of key pollution gases (ozone and nitrogen dioxide ). In 2008 he developed an improved multi-angle UV algorithm to derive the vertical profile of ozone from ground based Brewer spectrometer data.

Since 2006-2010 Dr. Krotkov served as principal investigator PI for the OMI volcanic and pollution sulfur dioxide (SO₂) products. Dr. Krotkov’s empirical and theoretical analysis of the SO₂data has led to quantification of passive emissions from active volcanoes and of large anthropogenic pollution point sources affecting air quality. Volcanic SO₂ data are now used in near real-time by NOAA, GINA/UAF, and FMI for detection of aviation hazards from volcanic eruption clouds. For this work he was recipient of NASA group achivement awards (2005,2008), 2006 Pecora TOMS team award and the 2009 R.H. Goddard Exceptional Achievement in Science Award.
