Jianglong Zhang

Jianglong Zhang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences within the College of Engineering and Mines at the University of North Dakota. His research focuses on aerosol science, remote sensing applications, and climate impacts with particular expertise in satellite-based aerosol measurements and diurnal aerosol variations.

Dr. Zhang's research interests span atmospheric particulates, aerosol optical properties, and their climate impacts. His work combines satellite observations from instruments like CATS, CALIOP, and MODIS with ground-based measurements to understand global aerosol distributions. He has made significant contributions to nighttime aerosol detection methods and maritime continent aerosol meteorology, with applications to climate modeling and air quality assessment.

His publication record shows strong focus on aerosol remote sensing techniques, with particular attention to diurnal cycles, retrieval algorithms, and validation methods. Dr. Zhang frequently collaborates with researchers from NASA and other institutions on major field campaigns like SEAC4RS and 7SEAS.
