The Northern Hemisphere polar jet stream and its effect on regional climate change during 1871-2100

The key motivation for this study is that over the last decade a tendency has developed for a more meridional jet-stream pattern than previously, which has led to unusual regional climate anomalies with severe socio-economic impacts across the Northern Hemisphere, including in 2010 record floods in Pakistan, intense heat waves and forest fires in Russia, and some enigmatically cold winter spells on both sides of the Atlantic in 2010 and 2011 (e.g. December 2010 was the coldest December since 1890 in the Central England Temperature record) which caused severe socio-economic disruptions in the UK. While these regional climate anomalies are directly attributable to changes in the jet stream, the ultimate drivers of the changes in the jet stream itself have not been fully quantified. One of the main aims of the current project is to advance mathematical modelling (analytical and numerical) in order to make a leap forward in the understanding of jet streams and their effects on climate.

At the same time, Arctic sea-ice coverage - most notably in late summer - has reached and remained at record low levels. This may be linked with what Professor James E Overland, an international leading expert of the field, has dubbed 'Warm Arctic Cold Continents' - whereby, as a result of the polar amplification of global warming and thinning Arctic sea-ice, more heat is released from the polar ocean to the overlying atmosphere, which reduces the meridional surface temperature gradient and tends to weaken the mid-latitude westerly winds, with resulting jet-stream changes as noted above. Note however that Arctic Sea Ice is not the only driver of changes in the jet stream. Contemporaneous changes in solar output, the Pacific Ocean's El Nino - Southern Oscillation cycle, the state of the Atlantic Ocean and other factors linked to Northern European climate are all known to have additional impacts on the northern hemisphere jet stream and thereby impact Europe and other regional climates. Fluctuations in these additional factors are superimposed on top of the recent Arctic Sea Ice decline in the historical record and these varying drivers need to be unravelled for a more complete picture. This is a second main aim of the proposed project.

This project will analyse in details the historic observational records for evidence of similar sea ice changes to the recent period during the previous Arctic warm period of the 1930s/40s, to ascertain to what extent there is a consistent response and to what extent recent changes in the jet stream might be caused by natural climate variability. This will also allow us to constrain the likely future changes in jet-stream behaviour, and therefore regional disparities of climate change in the generally densely populated mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere continents during the coming decade and indeed the remainder of the Twenty First Century. The project will also analyse and model changes in the polar front jet stream configuration and strength in the Northern Hemisphere mid-high latitude atmosphere in response to ongoing climate change from global warming and other relevant factors. It will do so using state-of-the-art climate analyses including: Twentieth Century Reanalysis (1871-2008) and ECMWF ERA-40 and Interim Reanalysis (1957-2012) sea level pressure, winds, temperatures and geopotential height fields, and also the IPCC AR5 suite of GCM projections. The project will include analysis of Met Office climate model simulations: both backwards to 1871 (to assess GCM reliability against the observational record and for validating purposes our modelling) and forwards to 2100 and will interact with the Met Office's long range forecasting and climate change projection programs through active collaboration.

The project is a collaboration between Dr Edward Hanna (PI, Dept of Geography, e.hanna@sheffield.ac.uk<mailto:e.hanna@sheffield.ac.uk>) and Prof Robert von Fay-Siebenburgen (CoI, SoMaS, robertus@sheffield.ac.uk<mailto:robertus@sheffield.ac.uk>). Please direct informal queries to either of the above two people. The project will also have an external CoI, Dr Adam Scaife (Head, Monthly to Decadal Prediction; Met Office). During the project the student will spend the a short period of time at the Met Office in order to acquire the modelling skills necessary for a successful outcome.

Deadline: Tuesday 5th June 2012 or until filled.

How to apply: This project is administered through SOMAS<http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/maths>. You can apply online<http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/research/apply> for admission to the university, choosing SOMAS as your department of study.

_Research project_

Like all economic sectors, air traffic contributes to CO_2 emissions and
climate change, but the magnitude of this contribution remains uncertain
and subject to scientific debate. Aircraft emit not only CO_2 but also
water vapour in the upper troposphere. Under favourable meteorological
conditions, water vapour emissions can induce the formation of
condensation trails (contrails) that can be seen in the sky. These
contrails may persist for several hours and can evolve to form cirrus
clouds. The climate impact on contrails and contrail-induced cirrus is
very uncertain.

This jobholder will parametrise the sub-grid scale variability in water
vapor in the upper troposphere and the formation of contrails and
contrail-induced cirrus in the LMDZ atmospheric general circulation
model. This modelling phase will be followed by a detailed validation
study using a unique observational dataset of contrails and
contrail-induced cirrus from the SIRTA experimental site. The
parametrisation for contrails and contrail-induced cirrus will then be
coupled to air traffic inventories to estimate the radiative and
climatic impacts of aviation.

This work is expected to contribute to the development and improvement
of physical parametrisations in the LMDZ model and should lead to
several high-level scientific publications.

_About the research project_

This post-doctoral position is funded by the Direction G?n?rale de
l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) under the IMPACT project. It involves five
partners: the Laboratoire Image Ville Environnement (LIVE), the
Laboratoire de M?t?orologie Dynamique (LMD), the Centre Europ?en de
Recherche et Formation Avanc?e en Calcul Scientifique (CERFACS),
M?t?o-France and the SNECMA company.

Dear colleagues,

I would be grateful if you could disseminate this announcement to
potentially interested students, sorry for cross-posting.

Thanks,

*PhD position in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems modelling at IMBE
(Mediterranean Institute of marine and terrestrial Biodiversity and
Ecology, Aix-en-Provence, France)*


*3-yr PhD studentship, starting autumn 2012: Modelling the
biogeochemical functioning of Mediterranean agro-ecosystems for
assessment of their ecosystem services. Assessment of sustainability
criteria for the future of Mediterranean agriculture under global change
scenarios.*

*The work of this PhD is embedded into the scientific programme of the
new Laboratory of Excellence OT-Med: "Objectif Terre -- Bassin
M?diterran?en" ("Destination Earth -- Mediterranean Basin") that
associates several academic institutions of the Aix-Marseille region
(southeast of France) in the area of geosciences/life sciences,
humanities and social sciences. The interdisciplinary project of OT-Med
focusses on the environment and sustainable development of Mediterranean
and semi-arid environments. *

*The first task of the PhD student will be the adaptation of an existing
generic large-scale agro-ecosystems model that simulates the coupled
carbon and water cycle of several potential natural and
cultivated/managed plant functional types. For agricultural systems
around the Mediterranean, it is necessary to enhance the model for:*

*

*additional permanent cropping systems (olive-trees, vineyards,
orchards).*

*

*associated cropping systems (low-input systems, agroforestry).
These diverse systems are either traditionally present around the
Mediterranean or they are tested as innovative systems for
potentially more sustainable agriculture (soil conservation, carbon
sequestration, reduced external inputs, improved resilience against
climatic stress, etc). *

*In a second task, the PhD student will perform spatial simulations with
the model around the Mediterranean to estimate several ecosystem
services directly depending on the management of agro-ecosystems. Global
change scenarios will be used for simulating likely future performances
and impacts of Mediterranean agriculture, including the estimation of
environmental, economic, and social services for sustainable agriculture.*

*The PhD work will benefit from co-supervision at the Potsdam Institute
for Climate Impact Research (PIK, Potsdam, Germany) and the department
of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at the University of Lund
(Sweden) where the model was initially developed and where it is further
developed and used within several projects. *

*For testing the implementation of specific Mediterranean traditional or
innovative cropping systems within the agro-ecosystem model, and for
analysing their ecological and socio-economic impacts, the PhD candidate
will collaborate with several institutes in Europe, and in the South
Mediterranean (especially Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt,and Lebanon).*

*The candidate should have training in geosciences or life sciences
(environmental science, biology, agronomy, geo-ecology) with appropriate
knowledge of computing tools (programming language, GIS, statistical and
graphic software, etc). The candidate must be interested in
interdisciplinary questions, linking social and development issues to
ecology in the rural Mediterranean.*

*Applications (CV, motivation letter, names of 2 referees) should be
sent to alberte.bondeau@imbe.fr before June 10, 2012*

PhD position at the University of Leuven (Belgium): The effect of large-scale wind farms on the regional climatology


Offshore wind deployment is foreseen to expand dramatically in the coming years. The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) estimates the total current installed offshore capacity to be just under 4 GW in Europe (Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic Sea). Solid progress has been made towards 40 GW of offshore wind by 2020. This expansion is strongly driven by EU and national policies that aim to provide a much greater penetration of renewable energy sources.

The strong expansion of offshore wind parks, is likely to affect the regional climatology of the coastal areas surrounding the Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic Sea. The main aim of this PhD is to assess the climate effect of a change in sea use, due to large-scale offshore wind deployment. For this, a regional climate model, namely the COSMO model in Climate Mode, will be used at kilometer-scale resolution. Such high resolution allows for an improved incorporation and understanding of the effect of land and sea use changes (like construction of wind parks) on the regional climatology including the feedback mechanisms acting on the local scale.

A wind turbine parametrization will be developed and implemented in the CCLM model. This will be done in close collaboration with another PhD project, where wind-farm large-eddy simulations will be performed. Together with this PhD student, you will also work on improving the optimal wind turbine operation mode, taking into account the effect of neighboring wind turbines. As the number of large wind farms in the northern European seas increases, the distance between the farms becomes smaller. Therefore the impact of large wind farms on the meteorological conditions at the neighboring farms is likely to increase considerably. This has important consequence for optimal control of wind parks.

The position is for a period of four years and will take place within the research group "Regional Climate Studies" of the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences in close collaboration with the research group "Thermal and Fluids Engineering" of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Leuven is a medieval university town a charming place with many historical buildings. The University of Leuven (1425) is among the oldest universities in Western Europe, and today it is the largest university in Belgium. Situated at the heart of Europe, Leuven is only twenty minutes by train to Brussels, two hours to Cologne, three hours to Amsterdam, and an hour and a half to Paris. You will be working within an interdisciplinary consortium that aims at an integrated approach for the optimization and control of large-scale wind farms. A third PhD project in this consortium will be focusing on an integrated electro-mechanical windfarm design. In addition, the work is strongly internationally oriented and embedded within the CLM community (http://www.clm-community.eu/). Several research visits abroad foreseen.

Interest in atmospheric sciences, excellent programming skills (e.g. fortran; preferably familiarity with LINUX/UNIX environment), good written and oral communication skills in English are required for this position. Candidates with a master degree (or about to finish) in a relevant science discipline with enthusiasm for atmospheric sciences will be considered. Experience with atmospheric modeling is a strong advantage.

Consideration of application will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Starting date is preferably 1 October 2012 but can be negotiated. For questions, please contact Prof. Nicole van Lipzig (contact information can be found on the link below). Applicants should submit a motivation letter, their transcripts, their curriculum vitae, and the names and e-mail of at least two references by post.

Applications should be sent (not emailed) to:
