Biography
Jean-Christophe Calvet received the engineering degree from the Institut
National Agronomique Paris-Grignon, Paris, France, in agronomy and the
engineering degree from the Ecole Nationale de la Météorologie,
Toulouse, France, in meteorology.
In 1990, he joined Météo-France/CNRM, Toulouse, France. From September
to March 1991 he was on leave of absence to work at the Laboratoire d'Etudes et de
Recherches en Télétection spatiale, Toulouse, France, and from April 1991 to July
1992 at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Sao José dos Campos, Brazil.
In 1996, he received the Ph. D. degree from the Université Paul Sabatier,
Toulouse, France. His application interests are in the land-atmosphere exchange
modeling and in the use of remote sensing over land surfaces for meteorology. His
most recent works concern the analysis of soil moisture and the representation of an
interactive vegetation in climate models.
