Jonathan Mittaz

Dr. Jonathan Mittaz is a Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading. His research focuses on satellite remote sensing, climate data records, and metrological applications in Earth observations. He specializes in sea surface temperature analysis, radiometric calibration, and sensor harmonization for climate applications.

Key affiliations include the ESA CCI SST Centaur initiative. His work emphasizes improving the accuracy and consistency of satellite-derived environmental data, with applications to climate monitoring and service delivery.

Research Interests:

• Development of climate data records for long-term environmental monitoring
• Advanced satellite sensor calibration and intercomparison (e.g., Sentinel-3, AVHRR, HIRS)
• Uncertainty quantification in Earth observation systems
• Integration of metrological principles into historical satellite data analysis

Recent Contributions: Includes studies on Himawari-8 SST products, error correlation analysis in HIRS data, and the FIDUCEO framework for systematic uncertainty propagation. His work has advanced the traceability and reliability of satellite-based climate datasets.
