POSTDOCTORAL PROPOSITION
Centre de Recherches de Climatologie, UMR5210 CNRS
B?t. Sciences Gabriel, 6 blvd Gabriel, 21000 Dijon
Teleconnexions between West African atmospheric conditions (Monsoon and
Harmattan wind) and
extratropical climate variability: diagnostic analysis and modeling
West African climate is characterized by two different seasons, i.e. the
monsoonal season from June
to September and a dry season, both having strong impacts on society
such as water resource
during the rainy season and health impacts (for instance meningitis
epidemics) linked with low
humidity and dust load and transport during the dry season. The analysis
of observations and
regional model simulations since 2003 have shown robust teleconnexions
between West African
climate variability and mid-latitude atmospheric circulation, especially
through different weather
regimes (Jung et al., 2006). The role of the Mediterranean Basin in
these teleconnexions has
recently been shown. In fact, West African precipitation shows stronger
correlation with
Mediterranean Sea surface temperature than equatorial Atlantic (Feudale
et Shukla, 2007; Martiny
et al., 2009; Polo et al., 2011).
Other studies have shown that the Harmattan winds, blowing from the east
or northeast and
bringing a large amount of desert dust coming from the Sahara and
Sahel's arid soils (Martiny et al.
2007 ; Molesworth et al., 2009), that play an important role on February
to April meningitis number
of cases in West Africa, are highly dependent on the wintertime
Mediterranean atmospheric
dynamics (Fontaine et al., 2009). To decline those results in terms of
vulnerability, impacts and
adaptation for societies, it is essential to take into account the
variability at small spatial scales.
Two main integrated components will be considered :
The first step will focuse on the study of the interactions between the
mid-latitude climate dynamics
and the climate variability associated with (i) the summertime West
African monsoon and (ii) the
wintertime Harmattan winds. The aim is especially to highlight the
importance of the mid-latitude
atmospheric dynamics but also the role of the Mediterranean Sea surface
temperature on West
African atmospheric conditions. The second step will focuses on the
impact of this specific
interactions on the modulation in the predictability of extreme events
such as heavy rainfall and
drought conditions. To do so, a diagnostic study of the interactions
between mid-latitude and West
African atmospheric variability will be performed (reanalyses, in-situ
data) especially with
multivariate statistical methods, including weather classification
approaches (automatic
classification, neural networks).
Numerical simulation experiments will also be achieved based on the WRF
regional climate model
implemented at the CRC laboratory. The study will first concentrate on
the simulation of extreme
events in the contemporary period (second half of the 20th century) with
a focus on the rain at the
beginning and the end of monsoon, and on the temperatures, winds and
humidity in the heart of the
dry season (January-May) in West Africa in order to better understand
the processes involved. The
experimental set up will then focus on the response of West African
climate variability to variations
of the Mediterranean Sea surface temperature, but also through so-called
guided experiments with
different configurations (blocking, ?Greenland Above? circulation) that
often happened vertical to
the Mediterranean Sea. Numerical simulations will finally be based on
future climate forced by the
possible evolution of some atmospheric parameters (under different
scenarios of climate change) to
estimate possible changes in the relationship between extratropical and
Mediterranean / West
African climate conditions.
Different datasets will be used:
? Atmospheric Reanalyses ERA (1950-today), ERA-interim (1989-today);
? Global numerical simulations from ECHAM/MPI-OM from 1950 to 2100 (17
ensemble runs,
A1b SRES scenario);
? Global numerical simulations from ARPEGE from 1950 to 2100 (A2 ans B2 SRES
scenarios);
? CMIP-4 available numercial simulations;
? Regional WRF numerical imulations (ensemble-runs computed at CRC);
? Station data.
Skills:
? Multivariate statistics (CCA, EOFs) and Model Output Statistics;
? Unix
? Good skills in Matlab programation and netCDF operators
? Good skills in numerical simulations;
? Good knowledge in West-African and Mediterranean climate will be
appreciated;
? English
Period: january 2011 ? december 2012 (12 months)
Salary: 2000 euros

Department Description
The Combustion Chemistry program, under the principal sponsorship of the Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences, seeks to reveal the key chemical processes that underlie the complex mechanisms of combustion. The program emphasizes determination of the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions, characterization of molecular structure and energetics, and development of full descriptions of chemical composition and evolution of combustion systems. Researchers in the program employ laser-based pump/probe techniques to interrogate chemical reactivity and structure, ion-imaging to simultaneously measure velocity and internal-state distributions of reaction products, experimental techniques in the picosecond and femtosecond domains to directly probe energy transfer and conversion within and between molecules, and laser-based methods directed at detection of combustion-generated particles. In other work, molecular photolysis is coupled with absorption/fluorescence detection methods to determine the thermal rate coefficients and product distributions for reactions that constitute the individual steps in the combustion chain process. Current computational efforts include ab initio calculations of molecular structure and energetics and computer modeling of the complete kinetics of combustion processes in both laminar and turbulent environments.

Job Details
Sandia National Laboratories invites applications for a postdoctoral position in atmospheric modeling. The successful candidate will work in Livermore, California with a team developing new approaches to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from urban regions.
This position involves developing methodologies to identify and characterize sources of greenhouse gases based on transport models and ground-based measurements of trace gas species. Modeling approaches will be strongly coupled with observational data. The postdoctoral associate will work closely with members of a multidisciplinary team of researchers engaged in performing measurements from a mobile laboratory, developing inverse modeling techniques to locate and characterize sources, and investigating the applicability of techniques to quantify the associated uncertainties. The postdoctoral associate will be responsible for developing and running models and interpreting the results under the direction of the principal investigators on the project.
Required
A Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, Earth sciences, or related field is required. Candidates are expected to have a background in atmospheric transport modeling with substantial experience in either inverse modeling or atmospheric chemistry modeling, a strong publication record, a demonstrated ability to make original scientific contributions.
Desired
Preference will be given to applicants with experience in analyzing atmospheric transport of trace gases and pollutants including multivariate analysis, experience with trace gas or pollutant source inventories and modeling, and experience with uncertainty quantification, statistical design of experiments, and adjoint methods. U.S. citizenship is not essential, but U.S. citizens are especially encouraged to apply.
Security Clearance
Sandia is required by DOE directive to conduct a pre-employment background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education verifications.
