The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and its Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research - Atmospheric Environmental Research (KIT/IMK-IFU), KIT-Campus Alpin in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, invites applications to three open positions, 1 PostDoc position and 2 PhD positions.
The positions are within the KIT/IMK-IFU's division "Ecosystem-Atmosphere Interactions" and contribute to the DFG-funded project "Climate feedbacks and benefits of semi-arid forests (CliFF)". In this project, micrometeorological and eco-physiological research will be combined to investigate the role of semi-arid forests in the climate system in collaboration with the Weizmann Institute in Israel. Further details can be found in the attached PDF.
Best regards,
Matthias Mauder

*Description:*_
Clouds have a strong effect on the Earth?s climate, but the level of
understanding of their climate impact and of cloud-climate feedbacks is
still low. In recent years, space-borne radar and lidar measurements on
board CloudSat and CALIPSO as part of NASA?s A-Train have achieved
notable improvements in studying the vertical cloud occurrence and
properties. Furthermore, the combination of these active measurements
with passive radiometers allows comprehensive studies of the cloud
properties and their radiative effect. The future satellite mission
EarthCARE of the European Space Agency, scheduled for launch in 2018,
will continue and improve the characterization of cloud distribution and
cloud properties on global scale. By applying a Doppler radar together
with a High Spectral Resolution Lidar, an infrared-visible radiometer
and a Broad Band Radiometer on the same platform, EarthCARE employs a
new and outstanding instrumentation.
This PhD work will aim to characterize the cloud phase and the
microphysical and radiative properties of clouds by exploiting the
synergy of active (Doppler radar, High Spectral Resolution Lidar) and
passive (visible and infrared radiometer) remote sensors. In preparation
for EarthCARE, the successful candidate will use A-Train radar and
lidar, and airborne radar and lidar data collected during RALI (airborne
radar-lidar-radiometer developed at the LATMOS) campaigns as well as
during DLR campaigns with the research aircraft HALO. During this PhD
thesis all the improved/developed algorithms will be tested on airborne
measurements collected with multi frequency-wavelength instruments
(Doppler radar at 95 GHz and 35 GHz, and High Spectral Resolution Lidar
at 355 nm and 532nm).During this work the synergistic algorithms for the
determination of cloud properties, developed by our team, will be
adapted with respect to the instrumental improvements of EarthCARE
compared to A-Train. The retrieval algorithms DARDAR (v2) and those
developed EarthCare oriented will be validated using airborne
measurements. These retrievals from the A-Train and airborne campaigns
will then be used to perform statistical analyses of cloud properties
and to study mechanisms involved in the cloud life-time.
