Brief Bio


Emmanuel P. Dinnat (Ph.D. University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris VI, France)

Dr. Dinnat is a Research Oceanographer with the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), in Greenbelt, MD, USA. He was born in Sarcelles, France, in 1975. He received a master of advanced studies degree in instrumental methods in astrophysics and spatial applications (1999), and the Ph.D. degree in computer science, telecommunications, and electronics (2003) from the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris, France. He was a research fellow at the European Space Agency (ESA) European Space Research and Technical Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, from 2003 to 2005. He joined the NASA-GSFC in 2005 to work on the Aquarius instrument under the NASA Postdoctoral Program, first with the National Research Council (NRC) and then with the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) from 2006-2007. He was an Assistant Research Scientist with the Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center/University of Maryland Baltimore County (GEST/UMBC) between 2007 and 2010. 

Dr. Dinnat's current research interests include combined active and passive microwave remote sensing, radiative transfer modeling, scattering from rough surfaces, sea surface salinity and oceanic processes in the Polar Regions.

Dr. Dinnat received the GSFC's Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory peer review awards for outstanding Post-Doc/Research Associate and outstanding publication in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He received two NASA group achievement awards as a member of the Aquarius commissioning and calibration/validation teams in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Dr. Dinnat is a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Current Projects


Reference Quality Model For Ocean Surface Emissivity And Backscatter From The Microwave To The Infrared

Remote Sensing

Satellite observations are vital for the initialisation of Numerical Weather Prediction models, that are in turn essential for protection of life and property and minimising impact of dangerous weather events. They are also very important for climate monitoring and prediction, as well as other application areas such as hydrology and flood awareness prediction. It is not possible to sound the lower troposphere from space without accurate knowledge of the radiative contribution from the earth’s surface. The lack of a reference quality ocean emission and backscatter model is a major gap in our ability to provide absolute calibration of the satellite based observing system.

This project, supported by the International Space Science Institute (ISSI), aims at addressing this gap collaboratively.

Final Meeting Summary, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS)


Aquarius calibration and algorithm for Sea Surface Salinity retrieval

Salinity

The objective of the project is to improve the calibration and the retrieval algorithm for the Aquarius radiometers in order to address the remaining error in Aquarius SSS products. Part of the project focuses on cold sky calibration maneuvers that have proved successful in the past in assessing the temporal drift and absolute bias, and refining the knowledge on the antenna spillover that is an important source of error in the absolute calibration. The project also aims at improving the calibration at the so-called "warm-end" of the brightness temperatures (i.e. over land and ice), correcting the SSS error dependence on sea surface temperature and the small biases between the three Aquarius beams. The SSS at high latitudes will be improved by correcting for the impact of sea ice presence in the Aquarius footprint.


Soil Moisture Active-Passive (SMAP) calibration/validation

Remote Sensing

This project addresses the post launch calibration of the SMAP radiometer. Specific issues include correcting for extraneous sources such as the galactic background and Sun, calibration of the polarimetric channels and their use to correct for Faraday rotation, and use of the cold sky and ocean for calibration. The goal is to facilitate an absolute calibration of the radiometer data that includes the effects of the radiometer antenna and covers the range from cold sky to land/frozen ground.


Inter-comparison and calibration of SMOS and Aquarius

Remote Sensing

This project aims at comparing L-band radiometric measurements from Aquarius and the ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission, as well as the science products (sea surface salinity, soil moisture). Inter-calibration is being performed over oceans, ice and land surfaces to ensure proper dynamic response of the instruments. Part of the work is to flag and discard potential Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) corrupted samples for both instruments that could potentially impact inter-calibration efforts. Differences in the Geophysical Model Function (e.g. dielectric constant, roughness models) and ancillary data (e.g. sea surface temperature) for both instruments are being assessed. Comparison with in situ salinities (e.g. Argo, ice breaker vessels in high latitudes) provides a quality assessment for both calibrations.


Special Issue "Sea Surface Salinity Remote Sensing"

Salinity

The purpose of this special issue is to gather contributions highlighting ongoing research related to remote sensing of sea surface salinity from spaceborne or airborne sensors, as well as combined use of satellite SSS with other observations (e.g. altimeter, SST, ...). In situ or laboratory measurements in support of improving forward models and retrieval algorithms are also welcome. Applied and theoretical research contributions concerning the multiple aspects of remote sensing of sea surface salinity will be considered.
