HAMTEC Consulting a provider of quality staff to the aerospace industry.
We are currently seeking a University educated or comparable qualifications
in Meteorology, Atmospheric Physics or related subjects, and a demonstrated
experience of at least 3 years in the area of satellite meteorology or
satellite data processing
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Start Date: As soon as feasible in 2012
Closing date: 10 December 2011
TASKS:
* The general task of the MTG Calibration Engineer will be the
provision of support and advice to the algorithm development group for
geostationary satellites within EUMETSAT's Meteorological Division (MET).
Although MET is not directly responsible for the operational product
extraction, including calibration, MET supports the scientific prototyping,
testing and validation of algorithms. Initially this work will focus on the
calibration of solar channels of MTG-FCI, using MSG to test various
algorithms.
* Specifically, the tasks of the Engineer will include:
* Support the development of the upgrade of the present SSCC system to
achieve better accuracy, in particular:
* Implementation of common GSICS algorithms using Deep Convective
Clouds and Rayleigh scattering over open ocean as calibration targets,
* Improved characterisation of desert targets,
* Improvement and updating of radiative transfer models;
* Support to Operations in the operational implementation of the
upgraded SSCC;
* Develop, test and validate prototype code for different calibration
methods;
* Analyse the performance of different calibration techniques,
including lunar calibration;
* Support the development, testing and operational implementation of
GSICS intercalibration algorithms - including thermal infrared as well as
solar bands;
* Support in the testing and validation of algorithms for retrieval of
geophysical parameters sensitive to calibration and evaluate the impact of
calibration on these products.
* Documentation, including writing of Algorithm Theoretical Basis
Documents (ATBDs) and reports on the above activities;
* Attending relevant meetings - both internal and international.
Qualifications and Experience
* A University degree or comparable qualifications in Meteorology,
Atmospheric Physics or related subjects.
* A demonstrated experience of at least 3 years in the area of
satellite meteorology or satellite data processing.
Essential Skills
* The Engineer shall have a good knowledge and practical experience of
radiative transfer in the visible, near-infrared and thermal infrared
spectral ranges.
* Additionally, a good knowledge and practical experience of
retrieving geophysical products from satellite instruments is required.
* The Engineer shall be able to demonstrate a good working knowledge
of statistical techniques and understanding of the concepts of calibration
and traceability.
* At least 3 year's experience in software development in Fortran-90
and/or C/C++ under UNIX is required.
Desirable Skills
. Experience with graphics packages like IDL
Security

Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
Applications are invited for a three-year fixed term postdoctoral Research Fellow. This position is part of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Climate System Science. The aim of the research project is to further our understanding of the life cycle of Rossby waves in the Southern Hemisphere and their role in controlling both extratropical cyclogenesis and the low-frequency variability. The project will involve the use of the global reanalyses and the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS), and may be supported by idealized modelling. The successful applicant should be an active researcher with a PhD (or equivalent) in atmospheric science or a related discipline.
For more Information, including how to apply, see: <http://www.monash.edu.au/jobs/>
Job No: 498500
Salary (in Australian Dollars): $74,032 - $79,469 pa (includes employer superannuation of 9%)
Enquiries: Professor Michael Reeder on +61 3 9905 4464 or michael.reeder@monash.edu
Applications Close: Sunday, 27 November 2011
