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).
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.

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.

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).
