Summary of the project:
The climate and the cryosphere of the Himalayas have recently attracted
growing scientific interest because of their essential role for water
resources in Southeast Asia and their enormous impact on the production
of food and electricity. The development of the snow cover constitutes a
crucial element in this environmental system. Absorbing impurities in
the snow like black carbon (BC) and dust have the potential to modify
the albedo, snow metamorphism, and the melting of snow in springtime. A
region particularly sensitive to such modifications are the high
altitude regions of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. Several
global studies have demonstrated the role of BC in the snow in these
regions leading to a strong radiative forcing with a significant impact
on local temperatures. However, regional modeling studies addressing
this issue in this region are still missing. Preliminary studies of the
climate of the Himalayas were performed with the regional climate model
MAR. The model was successfully set-up and tested for the target region
showing a better representation of the local circulation compared to
coarse-scale models. However, absorbing impurities in the snow were not
considered in these simulations. The objective of this thesis is to
implement first an existing radiative transfer scheme for snow into the
MAR model before applying the model to the target region and performing
multi-year climate simulations with different scenarios regarding
absorbing impurities like BC and dust in the snow. The results will be
compared to remote sensing data and to results of local-scale snowpack
models to identify the optimum model set-up for the high altitude
regions of the Himalayas. Furthermore, the results will be analyzed to
quantify the impact of the absorbers in the snow on the presence of snow
on the ground, radiative forcing, and local temperature.
Application:
Applicants should have a master in meteorology, environmental science,
glaciology, computer science or a related topic. Past work in climate
modeling and/or analysis of large data sets would be appreciated.
Applicants should be fluent in oral and written English. Knowledge of
FORTRAN is required. This job is offered with no restriction on age, sex
or nationality, in accordance to French law.
To apply, e-mail us to discuss the project:

Deadline for applications is 21 May 2014.

Centre for Earth Evolution and Dynamics (CEED), University of Oslo, has
1-2 vacant positions (Researcher/Postdoc) for a period of 3 years in
Climate modelling. A long term goal with the climate modelling in CEED
is to build upon our expertise in volcanic system studies and
reconstruction of global environments in the past. In particular we
would like to implement our results into high complexity climate
modelling, and a successful candidate is expected to contribute to these
activities. CEED provides a stimulating and well-funded research
environment and offers a broad interdisciplinary computation and
numerical simulation environment. Access to local and national
supercomputer facilities is also available.
