At the KNMI Department of R&D Satellite Observations there is a vacancy for a
Wind Scatterometer Scientist (Post-doc)
General information
The Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (www.knmi.nl ) is an agency of
the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment and the national institute for
weather, climate and seismology. We provide safety-, economy-, and
environment-related weather information to the public, government, aviation and
marine sectors. From our central weather room in de Bilt weather forecasts and
warnings are issued. The provision of knowledge, data and information is our key
assignment. Moreover, KNMI researches climate change, weather, earth quakes
and other geophysical phenomena. In all of these fields, we cooperate and
collaborate internationally with sister organizations. Our research is directed
towards the observation and analysis of climate and weather systems and their
prediction. Research topics are selected on the basis of the state-of-the-art of the
international weather and climate research and on the basis of government and
society demands.
Research Group
The research will be carried out in the Earth Observation department, in the group
working on satellite wind observations. The KNMI satellite wind research group is
internationally renowned. We work closely together with EUMETSAT
(www.eumetsat.int), ESA (www.esa.int ) and other international organizations.
Besides research, we are responsible for the operational and near-real time
processing of the ocean wind vector observations of several satellite instruments
(www.knmi.nl/scatterometer) and thus maintain a close link between research
and applications.
Job information
Weather and ocean forecasters require accurate ocean vector wind inputs to follow
evolving relevant and sometimes extreme dynamical phenomena and to capture
coastal-scale processes. The ASCAT wind scatterometers, at the microwave C
band, operationally produce a high-quality wind series and wind processing and
monitoring activities are being further refined. The wind scatterometer scientist
will engage to explore the Sentinel-1 satellite SAR measurements in order to
validate the new coastal ASCAT wind data processor (AWDP) wind products.
Moreover, novel wind scatterometers are emerging for which adapted wind data
processors need development and testing. The research is part of the EUMETSAT
Ocean and Sea Ice (OSI) and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) Satellite
Application Facility (SAF) projects and supported by the EUMETSAT SAF network.
Coastal winds play an important role in coastal protection, wind energy, ship
routing, off-shore, climate system dynamics, etc.. They determine the generation
of sea waves and storm surges, the humidity, momentum and heat exchanges
between air and sea, which are crucial for the forcing of ocean circulation models.
Further background information may be acquired through:

Requirements
As a PhD you graduated in physics, mathematics, meteorology, oceanography or
equivalent. We value your experience in applied research, statistical and
numerical analysis, and programming skills. Interest in microwave satellite data
validation and evaluation is a clear bonus. Experience with meteorology or
oceanography and peer-reviewed publications in the field of earth observation
would be an asset, as well as knowledge of Fortran and scripting computer
language(s) (e.g. bash, python). You have an analytical and independent mind,
but also enjoy working in a team. Good communication skills, both verbally and
written, in at least the English language are required.
Details:
? The position is for the duration of max 5 years, or as long as there is
funding.
? Working place: De Bilt
? Salary: max ? 4.415,77 gross per month (scale 11), depending on
Experience
The interviews for this position will take place on the 22nd, 23th or 24rd of June due
to the holiday period. Please indicate your availability. Alternate earlier availability
may be indicated and will be considered when feasible.
