Prasanjit Dash is a Remote Sensing Scientist with over 20
years of experience in terrestrial infrared satellite applications.
He has worked on several national and international space-based
projects in the USA, Europe, and India. Between 2000 and 2005, He
was with KIT, where he worked on the development of algorithms and
validation strategy for land surface temperature.
Since 2006, he has been with NOAA / NESDIS. He is affiliated
with the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)
of Colorado State University (CIRA CSU). Prasanjit received a PhD
in Physics from the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology, Meteorological Satellite Applications
(MSA) Group, in 2004 and an MBA from Colorado State University, College
of Business in 2017.
In the spirit of NOAA-EUMETSAT trans-Atlantic collaboration,
Prasanjit temporarily worked at the Remote Sensing and Products Division,
EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany between mid-2016 and end-2017, as a
Copernicus Sentinel-3 SST Scientist while remaining affiliated with CSU
CIRA and rejoined NOAA/CSU in Jan 2018.
A few notable contributions include development and expansion of:
EUMETSAT METIS (version 1.0) for monitoring of Sentinel-3 sea surface temperature (SSTs);
NOAA SQUAM (version 1.0) in collaboration with other team members;
Prasanjit is an author of several high-impact peer-reviewed publications.
He earned the CIRA Research and Service Initiative Award, 2011. In 2002, he
was awarded the "Best Scientific Letter Award" by Remote Sensing &
Photogrammetry Society of the UK and Taylor Francis Publishers, International
Journal of Remote Sensing.
Interests: Satellite infrared radiometry, radiative transfer modeling in
terrestrial infrared, routine and synergistic study of multiple ocean
parameters, modern visualization with web-GIS applications, inverse algorithms, and
cloud detection.
