Kevin Garrett
received the M.S. degree in Atmospheric Sciences from Texas A&M University,
College Station, TX in 2007. He currently is a Physical Scientist with the NOAA/NESDIS
Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), College Park, MD, and is the
Federal Manager for the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM). Additionally Mr.
Garrett serves as NESDIS representative to the U.S. Joint Center for Satellite Data
Assimilation (JCSDA) Executive Team. His primary interests are all-sky radiative
transfer and applications in passive microwave remote sensing, data fusion, and data
assimilation. Previously he worked as contractor task lead on the NOAA Microwave
Integrated Retrieval System (MiRS) and supported the JCSDA, leading the optimization
of SNPP ATMS and DMSP SSMI/S data assimilation, and implementation of new passive
microwave satellite data including GPM GMI, GCOM-W1 AMSR2, and Megha-Tropiques SAPHIR
into the NOAA Global Data Assimilation System / Global Forecast System (GDAS/GFS).
