Salary Information
?26,010 and for exceptional candidates up to ?35,040 + competitive benefits, including Civil Service pension.
Background
The Earth System and its interactions with human activities is one of the four main themes of the Met Office Science Plan. The Earth System and Mitigation Science (ESMS) team has a world-leading track record in the field of stratospheric dynamics, atmospheric chemistry, inverse modelling, atmospheric aerosols, and the terrestrial carbon cycle. It delivers policy relevant research to our government and commercial customers as well as performing underpinning research on emissions and gas-phase chemistry and their interactions with climate, aerosols and ecosystems.
The Greenhouse Gas Inversion group within ESMS is responsible for maintaining our world-leading reputation in the field of verification of regional emissions and inverse modelling in general. Understanding current and future changes in atmospheric composition due to changes in emissions and climate are important to policy customers. The focus is on policy-relevant timescales through understanding the atmospheric trends and UK emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) over the last 25 years.
The group uses NAME, the Met Office atmospheric dispersion model, and uses and develops the Inversion Technique for Emission Modelling (InTEM) model. The group contributes modelling and analysis to international activities such as the EU project INGOS and AGAGE (Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment) and actively collaborates with the UK academic community (currently; Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester and Imperial).
The scientist/senior scientist will join ESMS comprising of more than 20 research scientists. The jobholder will be expected to contribute to the development of InTEM and to perform novel research in the field of inverse modelling. They will also have opportunities to actively participate in a wide range of national and international research activities, such as the NERC project GAUGE and AGAGE.
Inverse modelling for estimating emissions uses information from observations of atmospheric trace gases (e.g. methane and nitrous oxide), combined with estimates of how emissions dilute on route to the measurement site (e.g. through the use of NAME). By comparing the modelled time-series of concentration with the observations, the modelled emissions can be adjusted to maximise the statistical fit between the modelled and observed time-series. Key areas of development in inverse modelling are; statistical uncertainty, background atmospheric concentrations, the use of prior knowledge or information.
Inverse modelling is a rapidly developing area of science with many innovative approaches being explored e.g. Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods, statistical emulators, principle component analysis, use of satellite data to complement surface observations, uses of isotopes to separate emissions from different source categories. The successful candidate will work closely with the University community (principally Bristol and Cambridge) to develop and implement some of these ideas within InTEM. There is also a strong link to ADAQ, the Met Office dispersion group, and their use of InTEM for emergency response.
The commercial contract with DECC (Dept. of Energy and Climate Change), the backbone to the funding, is now in its 15th year (just extended) and encourages strong collaboration with the international community, e.g. AGAGE. The AGAGE community have twice yearly meetings at various locations around the world and the Met Office is an integral part of this programme providing key information for the interpretation of the observations. INGOS is a European programme requiring strong collaboration with the key inverse modelling groups across Europe. GAUGE, a new NERC programme focussed on inverse modelling, offers the opportunity for close collaboration with the UK university community.
Please see the website www.metoffice.gov.uk/atmospheric-trends for a flavour of the work.
Job Purpose
To deliver excellent scientific research in the field of atmospheric inversion modelling, to actively collaborate with a wide range of national and international organisations and to deliver relevant and timely information to our customers.
Job Responsibilities
Contribute to developing and innovatively using InTEM to further improve our understanding and quantification of the emissions of key GHGs.
Contribute to the successful delivery of research contracts that have important UK and international significance.

Dear all,
We are seeking applications for a 3-year PhD position commencing in October 2014, to work on the fine-scale processes involved in Mediterranean Heavy Precipitating Systems in the framework of the HyMeX programme (see announcement below). Please feel free to forward this announcement to potential candidates.
Best regards,
Olivier Nuissier
PhD title : Study of the initiation and organisation of Mediterranean Heavy Precipitating Systems within HyMeX SOP1
PhD supervisors : Dr. Olivier Nuissier, Dr. Fanny Duffourg
Place : CNRM-GAME, M?t?o-France & CNRS, 42, Avenue G. Coriolis 31057 Toulouse Cedex, France
Deadline for application : 26 May 2014
PhD goals, proposed methodology :
The HyMeX programme (HYdrological cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment, http://www.hymex.org/ ) is an international, experimental programme that aims at improving our understanding of the water cycle in the Mediterranean area. Its first special observing period (SOP) took place from 5 September to 5 November 2012. The main goal of this SOP was to document the heavy precipitation events and flash floods that regularly affect the north-western Mediterranean coastal areas. In the two-month campaign, around twenty rainfall events were documented in France, Italy, and Spain. Exceptional instrumental means (research aircrafts, drifting balloons, lidars, radars, additional radiosoundings, etc.) were deployed during the SOP and allowed to harvest a unique observational dataset.
This PhD aims to improve our understanding of the fine-scale processes involved in the initiation and the quasi-stationary organisation of the Mediterranean heavy precipitating systems, as well as our knowledge of their interactions and their sensitivity to the environment. This PhD will also offer the opportunity to diagnose the representation of these processes in the fine-scale numerical weather prediction models and the HyMeX observational dataset will enable to validate the simulated results.
The methodology of this PhD will consist in:
- simulating at sub-kilometric scales (100 to 500 meters) with the French research model Meso-NH specific HPEs of the SOP. These simulations will be initialised and forced at the boundaries with AROME-WMED reanalyses computed specifically for the HyMeX campaign. We will address highly documented SOP1 situations of heavy precipitation such as IOP12 (11-12 Oct.), IOP13 (14-16 Oct.), IOP15b (21-22 Oct.) and IOP16a (25-27 Oct.).
- evaluating at fine-scale these simulations thanks to the many additional observations of the HyMeX campaign
- defining an experimental set-up efficient for sub-kilometric scale simulations of heavy precipitating events. This will be performed by studying the sensitivity of the representation of the mechanisms of convection to some physical parameterizations (turbulence, microphysics) and/or to the mesoscale initial conditions. The representation of the mechanisms in the simulations will be studied by comparing with the HyMeX observations.
- analysing at fine-scale the forcing mechanisms for the initiation and quasi-stionary organisation of convection, and in particular their interactions and their sensitivity to the meteorological environment. Various tools associated with the Meso-NH research model will be used (convection diagnoses, lagrangian backward trajectories, budgets). We might come down in this study of the heavy precipitating systems to the scale of the convective cell. The comparative study of different HPEs will also help to document the sensitivity of the forcing mechanisms to the meteorological environment.
