A post-doc position is open by CNRS for the EMBRACE European project:
Coupled ocean-atmosphere processes in the North Atlantic basin: impact
of oceanic meso-scale eddies
Contacts: Anne Marie Treguier and Julie Deshayes (CNRS, Laboratoire de
Physique des Oc?ans, Brest)
Description:
Coupled global climate models are a necessary tool to understand past
and present climate variability and build scenarios of future climate.
These models are subject to systematic errors in the representation of
climate processes and variability, which render climate projections
uncertain. The objective of the EMBRACE project (
http://www.smhi.se/embrace/ ) is to reduce key systematic biases by
improving the physical representation of critical processes. Regarding
the climate of the North Atlantic, the challenge is to reproduce
faithfully the major ocean fronts such as the Gulf Stream and the
North Atlantic Current. One solution is to increase the horizontal
resolution enough to explicitly resolve meso-scale eddies. The ocean
components of global climate models used for IPCC, for the most part,
do not resolve the eddies. This is a serious deficiency, as meso-scale
eddies and associated fronts are the most energetic ocean components
at time scales longer than one day.
A new ocean model configuration, ERNA (Eddy Resolving in the North
Atlantic), based on the NEMO system ( www.nemo-ocean.eu ) has been
developed by J. Deshayes and collaborators in Brest. It combines a
global low resolution model (comparable to the ocean component of
current climate models) with an embedded high resolution North
Atlantic nest using AGRIF (two-way nesting approach). Within EMBRACE,
the ERNA configuration will be coupled to the atmospheric component of
the CNRM-CM5 coupled climate model (a model of the CMIP project
developed by CNRM-CERFACS). The atmospheric component (ARPEGE) allows
stretching the grid to achieve higher resolution above the North
Atlantic. The post-doc fellow will use this coupled model to explore
at least one, but possibly both, of the following scientific questions:
1- The representation of ocean water masses, as well as their
formation mechanisms by deep convection and subduction, presents
systematic biases in climate models. The role of eddies in these
processes is well established, but so far this role has been studied
mainly in ocean simulations forced by atmospheric reanalyses, a
procedure that often results in erroneous air-sea fluxes over
eddy-rich regions. By using an ocean-eddy-resolving fully coupled
model, it will be possible to assess the role of eddies in a more
consistent air-sea interaction framework and understand better the
impact of their absence for the biases of North Atlantic water mass
ventilation in low resolution CMIP models.
2- The low resolution and absence of eddies generally results in a
wrong location of major fronts in the North Atlantic in CMIP models.
The wrong location of the North Atlantic Current leads to very large
anomalous heat fluxes in the western North Atlantic, possibly
impacting the weather over Europe. The ERNA configuration represents
correctly these fronts when forced by a fixed atmosphere, and we
expect a similar improvement in coupled mode. The higher resolution in
both the ocean and atmosphere will allow to evaluate the impact of
this bias reduction for North Atlantic weather regimes.
The 2-year position will start in September-November 2012 and the
fellow will be located at the Ifremer centre near Brest. The post-doc
project is a collaboration between the physical oceanography
laboratory LPO (www.ifremer.fr/lpo) and CNRM in Toulouse
(http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/).
The candidate must hold a PhD in fluid dynamics, oceanography or
atmospheric sciences, and have an experience in numerical modelling. A
knowledge of atmospheric and/or ocean models to be used in this
project would be an advantage.
To apply, send a full resume, an application letter and the contact of
3 referees, preferably before July 15th, 2012 to treguier@ifremer.fr
