Mark Wenig

Mark Wenig is a Professor at the Meteorological Institute of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), specializing in remote sensing of air pollutants. His research focuses on air quality monitoring using advanced measurement techniques including Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS).

His research interests include:

• Air Quality Monitoring
• Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Pollutants
• Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS)
• MAX-DOAS Measurements and Analysis
• NO2 Measurement and Distribution Analysis
• Spatial and Temporal Variability of Pollutant Concentrations

Professor Wenig leads research projects analyzing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) distribution in Munich using a network of remote sensing instruments. His work includes both stationary monitoring from the institute building in central Munich and mobile measurements using instruments installed on vehicles and even a zeppelin. His research distinguishes between different pollution sources such as traffic, residential heating, and power plants by analyzing spatial and temporal patterns of pollutants.

Professor Wenig is currently supervising PhD students working on air quality monitoring projects, including analysis of MAX-DOAS data and organization of measurement campaigns throughout Munich and its surroundings.
