PostDoc position on snow/ice energy balance modelling and mesoscale
meteorology
The Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics (University of Innsbruck,
Austria) offers a 14 month postdoc position in the fields of glacier
energy balance modelling and mesoscale meteorology.
Please see http://www.uibk.ac.at/index.html.en for primary information
on the University, the Institute and the general environment.
Applicants are expected to continue ongoing research on spatially
distributed modelling of snow/ice surface exchange processes in Arctic
glacier environments. This will build on extended analysis of
glaciological and meteorological data collected at a Svalbard glacier
during the last years and/or output from mesoscale atmospheric models.
The position therefore calls for demonstrated meteorological background
and experience in numerical modelling. Previous work on Arctic
meteorology and/or glaciers is welcome, as well as cooperativeness to
develop research perspectives beyond the current job opening.
The position is related to an ESF-PolarClimate research project and is
funded by the Austrian Science Fund. For details on these projects
please watch www.Svalglac.eu. or
http://www.fwf.ac.at/en/abstracts/abstract.asp?L=E&PROJ=I369.
Funding is currently secured to support a 14 month full employment
according to national standards. Flexible distribution of work and
salary is conceivable upon mutual agreement, but extension beyond summer
2014 depends on additional funding.
Applications or further inquiries may be sent to
(friedrich.obleitner@uibk.ac.at) and will be given full consideration
until January 31. Thereby please include your CV and contacts of two
professional referees.

Funded PhD Fellowship: Turbulence Measurements at the Ocean Surface
for the SPURS Ocean Salinity Experiment
This project addresses the following question: What is the vertical
distribution of small-scale temperature, salinity, dissipation, and
velocity in the upper 100 m of the ocean, and how do these processes
contribute to the North Atlantic Salinity Maximum?
The primary focus of this project is to study the small-scale
processes at the ocean surface to quantify their impact on sea surface
salinity using data from the Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP). ASIP
is upwardly-rising profiler that has a suite of high-resolution
sensors that can provide measurements from mixed-layer depths to the
air-sea interface, including temperature, salinity, shear, velocity,
and PAR. The shear measurements provide the level of turbulence, which
is quantified by the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy.
This dissipation and temperature/salinity profiles are essential to
determining the vertical turbulent fluxes of salt and temperature in a
stratified system, which is the main mechanism of transport of these
scalars. Because of the high spatial resolution of the salinity
profiles, the sea surface salinity can be determined exactly and
related to the bulk salinity and the turbulent fluxes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Applicants should have a degree in physics, engineering, or a
closely-related discipline, and a strong motivation for research.
Familiarity with ocean turbulence is desirable but not essential.
Experience with Matlab is essential. Enthusiam for participation in
ocean-going field experiments is necessary. For further information,
contact Dr. Brian Ward bward@nuigalway.ie.

Characterising a New Gas Analyser for Eddy Covariance Measurements of
Air-Sea Fluxes of Carbon Dioxide
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Accurate measurements of atmosphere-ocean fluxes are important for
quantifying the amount of greenhouse gases that are transferred across
the air-sea interface. The eddy correlation (direct) method is
considered to be the benchmark for accurate determination of air-sea
fluxes. This method relies on high-frequency measurements of the
fluctuations of vertical wind velocity (w') and gas concentration
(c'). Current gas analyser technology places constraints on the
ability to determine c' with the required signal-to-noise ratio, and
measurements are limited to conditions of high air-sea fluxes.
The main objective of this project is to characterise a
newly-developed photoacoustic gas analyser and implement it within an
eddy-covariance system. This technology will provide a significant
improvement in sensitivity over the IR absorption sensors that are
currently in oceanographic use, and there is a very stong potential
for reducing the scatter in the air-sea gas transfer coefficient.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualifications:
Postdoctoral candidates should have completed a PhD in oceanography,
atmospheric science, or a related field with a proven research record
and evidence of high research potential. Familiarity with the eddy
covariance flux method is exceedingly desirable. Experience with
instrumentation is essential. Enthusiasm for participation in
ocean-going field experiments is necessary.
Salary: ?38,286 per annum (public sector pay policy rules pertaining to
new entrants will apply)
