Position: PhD
Location: Dept of Meteorology, Stockholm University
Closing date: November 20, 2013
Duration: 4 years
Starting date: around new year or soon after.
This project aims at identifying links between the jet stream
variability and the atmospheric system's attractor. Low-frequency
variability in midlatitude weather is a topic of intensive research
because of its importance in understanding and improving predictability
in weather and climate. The nature of this variability is a subject of
ongoing debate between two mainstream paradigms: linear or nonlinear.
Recent research on the jet stream variability provides some evidence in
support of the nonlinear paradigm. This entails the existence of
nonlinear circulation regimes; recurrent and quasi-stationary states of
the midlatitude large-scale flow. These flows may be associated with
different states of the midlatitude jet stream and this association can
enhance the predictability of weather regimes and transitions and
ultimately improve weather and climate predictions. The behavior of the
system is defined not only by the quasi-stationary states but also
various (weakly) unstable periodic orbits (UPO), such as the 25-day
oscillation. These also define the statistical properties of the system,
such as the climatology of for example the storm track. Since most of
the weather and climate of the midlatitudes is associated one way or
another with the midlatitude jet streams, the system's stationary states
(or weather regimes) and UPOs are expected to be the primary controller
of the jet stream variability. The project will involve using simplified
quasi-geostrophic models, for example barotropic and baroclinic models
on the sphere, as well as comprehensive general circulation models and
reanalysis data.

Global Ocean Modeller
* Based in Wellington, New Zealand
* Fixed-term opportunity
NIWA is a dynamic research organisation whose purpose is to enhance the economic value and sustainable management of New Zealand's aquatic resources and environments, to provide understanding of climate and the atmosphere and increase resilience to weather and climate hazards to improve safety and wellbeing of New Zealanders.
NIWA operates a state-of-the-art global coupled atmosphere-ocean-ozone chemistry model used to investigate global climate and composition change. In association with this effort, we have an exciting two year fixed-term opening for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with experience in modelling the global ocean to join the Lauder and Wellington teams.
As part of an interdisciplinary effort, you will use NIWA and other model simulations, as well as available observations, to characterize and explain past, present, and future climate change in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere. Your work will contribute towards improving understanding of how atmospheric composition change, particularly increasing greenhouse gases and ozone recovery, and feedbacks with the global ocean, will shape the climate of the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in the New Zealand and Antarctic regions, throughout this century. You will be associated with the Lauder team producing global chemistry-climate-ocean simulations and with the oceanography and climate modelling groups in Wellington. You will liaise with the national and international climate and ocean modelling community.
With a PhD degree, completed before the start of the position, in oceanography, meteorology, or a related field, you will have:
* Experience in modelling the global ocean within a climate model
* Experience in modern analytical methods used with global ocean datasets
* An excellent background in computing (Windows, UNIX, FORTRAN, and a scripting language such as IDL are essential)
* A proven ability to publish scientific papers in international, peer-reviewed journals
* Strong communication skills and good proficiency in the English language
* Experience with the NEMO model and/or the Unified Model would be advantages
As an engaged team player, you will enjoy working with the Wellington and Lauder groups and with teams across NIWA's other sites, communicating positively and productively with a wide range of staff. You will be self-motivated and results-orientated, conscientious and well organised, with a keen eye-for-detail.
We provide an excellent work environment, offer competitive remuneration and benefits, free parking and an attractive waterfront location at Greta Point.

Two PhD positions in Boundary Layer Dynamics at University of Innsbruck
We are seeking 2 highly motivated PhD candidates to be involved in a project studying boundary-layer dynamics in highly complex terrain. The 'Innsbruck Box' (i-Box) is combined observational-modeling effort, in which we investigate the spatial variability of boundary layer turbulence, flow and exchange characteristics in a 'box' of some 20x20km dimensions.
* One PHD project will focus on the analysis of turbulence data (scaling properties, spectral characteristics, spatial variability) in the framework of an FWF (Austrian science foundation) project. Focus for this PhD project therefore is analysis of experimental data (mostly turbulence data), quality assessment and test/investigation of new scaling approaches.
* The other PhD student will work within a MeteoSwiss financed project to test the COSMO NWP model's turbulence parameterization at very high resolution on the basis of experimental data and idealized simulations. Focus here is numerical modeling - also at LES grid resolution for reference simulations - in real complex terrain with the goal to assess and potentially improve the model's turbulence parameterization.
The ideal candidate holds a Masters degree and has a strong background in atmospheric science (or a related discipline) and programming. Experience in atmospheric boundary layer turbulence and/or numerical modeling is an advantage.
The work will be conducted in the Atmospheric Dynamics unit at the Institute for Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Innsbruck. In this unit boundary layer dynamics in complex terrain is one of the key themes, besides other aspects of mountain meteorology, weather forecast and statistical meteorology. The Department additionally has units on 'Ice and Climate' and 'Atmospheric Physics'.
Applicants should submit their Curriculum Vitae, copies (and transcripts, if necessary) of their exams, two reference letters and their own letter of motivation as part of their application package.
The positions can be filled immediately - screening of candidates will start by October 30 2013.
For more information, prospective applicants may contact
Prof. Dr. Mathias Rotach (mathias.rotach<at>uibk.ac.at) or Dr. Ivana Stiperski (ivana.stiperski<at>uibk.ac.at)
One may find a short overview on the i-Box project on our institute homepage (<http://imgi.uibk.ac.at/dynamics/i-box>). Note, however, that this website is currently under reconstruction and the new site is going to be available online shortly.
