Research Scientist at Danish Meteorological Institute
Hoyeon Shi is a researcher at the Danish Meteorological Institute, working on microwave remote sensing of high-latitude regions. He received his PhD degree in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Seoul National University in 2021 for simultaneous estimation of snow depth and sea ice thickness, combining satellite altimeter, infrared, and passive microwave data. His main research interest is developing a physically consistent retrieval algorithm depending less on auxiliary data. Currently, he is engaged in EUMETSAT OSI SAF (variables: sea ice emissivity and concentration) and ESA CIMR L2PAD (variable: ice surface temperature) projects. Since his background also covers atmospheric science and physics, he participated in research projects regarding atmospheric profiling using hyperspectral infrared sounder, testing of atmospheric radiative transfer model, and CO2 profiling using ground-based solar FTS measurements.
