Hiroaki Kuze finished the graduate school of University of Tokyo in 1982, obtaining the Ph.D degree in physics in the field of quantum electronics. After working as a post-doctoral researcher for the Institute for Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), in 1984 he became a research assistant and in 1986 an associate professor in the physics department, faculty of liberal arts, Shizuoka University. During 1987-1988, he stayed at the Institute for Quantum Optics, Max-Planck Institute in West Germany as a visiting scientist. From 1995 to 2004, he worked as associate professor with the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing (CEReS), Chiba University, and in 2004 he became full professor. During 2010-2014 as well as 2018-2020, he served as the director of CEReS. Between 2014 and 2016, he was the president of the Remote Sensing Society of Japan (RSSJ). His major research field is the optical remote sensing of the atmosphere.

Nighttime clouds are detected using a camera without a NIR-cut filter by exploring the pixel value distribution in each red, green, and blue (RGB) color space from clear and 100% cloudy sky images. The removal of the NIR-cut filter enhances the pi...
Aerosol optical properties are measured near the surface level using sampling instruments and a near-horizontal lidar. The values of the aerosol extinction coefficient inside the instruments are derived from nephelometer and aethalometer data, whi...
