Summary
Emanuel Dutra is a researcher with 11 years’ experience focused on land surface processes and their role in Earth system and meteorological forecasting models. Based in Lisbon, he works at Instituto Português do Mar e Atmosfera (IPMA) after research positions at ULisboa and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. His expertise spans modelling and remote sensing of land surface dynamics, large-scale hydrology, drought monitoring and sub-seasonal to seasonal atmospheric predictability. Emanuel holds a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology from the University of Lisbon and applies that academic depth to operational and research forecasting challenges. He blends theoretical understanding with practical model development and observational analysis, often bridging the gap between hydrology and atmospheric predictability. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex land–atmosphere interactions into actionable insights for forecasting and drought early warning.
