Dr. Md Arfan Ali | Climate Change | Best Researcher Award

Air Pollution and Climate Change Expert at Regional Center for Climate Change, NCM, Jeddah, KSA, Saudi Arabia

Dr. Md Arfan Ali’s research interests span a wide range of topics within the field of atmospheric sciences. He is particularly focused on aerosol remote sensing, which involves the detection and measurement of aerosol properties from a distance, typically using satellite or ground-based instruments. His work in climate change examines the broad impacts of changing atmospheric conditions on global and regional climates. Dr. Ali also investigates aerosol pollution, including the study of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and particulate matter such as PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. His research extends to gaseous pollutants, where he examines the levels and effects of pollutants like ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
