Emmanuel P. Dinnat (Ph.D. University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris VI, France)
Dr. Dinnat is currently a Research Scientist with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), in Greenbelt, MD, USA, and Chapman University, Orange, CA, 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).
Combined active and passive microwave remote sensing at L-band
Using coincident and collocated scatterometer and radiometer measurements to study the oceans and the cryosphere (Aquarius/SAC-D and SMAP missions).
Radiative transfer modeling
Modelling signals emitted and scattered at Earth's various surfaces (ocean, land and ice), modified through the atmosphere and measured by the antenna.
Sea surface salinity (SSS)
Using L-band radiometer and scatterometer to retrieve sea surface salinity (Aquarius/SAC-D mission).
Ocean freshening in the Polar Regions
Using Aquarius and in-situ (ship, buoys, drifting floats) sea surface salinity measurements to detect the signals of ice melt and freeze.
Remote sensing of soil moisture
Using remote sensing at L-band to infer soil moisture (Aquarius/SAC-D and SMAP missions).
Special Issue "Sea Surface Salinity Remote Sensing"
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.
The Special Issue can be found at the following address:

Aquarius calibration and algorithm for Sea Surface Salinity retrieval
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
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
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.
