About
Joaquín Muñoz-Sabater was born in Valencia, Spain. He received the Ph.D. degree from the Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse III), Toulouse, France,in April 2007. In 2008, he joined the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Reading, U.K., where he is currently working. His research focuses mainly on the assimilation of passive remote sensing data (with special emphasis on Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) data), for soil moisture analysis and the impact on the weather forecast. Before his Ph.D., he worked first at the European Space Agency, Paris, France, where he was involved in feasibility studies for the EARTHcare mission, and second at the Delft University of Technology, where he carried out research within the radar interferometry group. His thesis was done entirely at Météo France, and it was focused on the assimilation of remote sensing data for the characterization of land surfaces. Before joining the ECMWF, he worked at the European Centre for Research and Advanced Training in Scientific Computation (CERFACS), Toulouse. There, he was responsible for a project of the French National Hydrometeorological and Flood Forecasting Centre, where he studied the impact of assimilating streamflow observations for flood forecasting applications.
