Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Environment Canada's Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis
(CCCma) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Visiting Fellowship focused on one
of three areas related to earth system modelling:
1) Development and validation of a parameterization of reactive
nitrogen emissions
This project focuses on the development of a mechanistic
parameterization of reactive nitrogen (NOx) emissions from soils,
including the short-term response of emissions to changes in factors
such as soil moisture and temperature, while developing
parameterizations that will allow for longer-term changes in fluxes of
reactive nitrogen to be simulated as part of the nitrogen cycle in the
Canadian Earth System Model. With the soil NOx parameterization
developed, the climate model will be capable of interactively simulating
the concentration of NOx from the surface to the stratopause. It will
then be possible to test the model by comparing the output from
simulations with the total column measurements of NO2 from satellites
such as OMI and SCIAMACHY. By interactively simulating NOx throughout
the column a much more direct comparison of satellite observations with
the model than has previously been carried out will be possible. This
comparison will help to refine our estimates of NOx emissions from soils
and lightning and contribute to the development of interactive
tropospheric chemistry and nitrogen cycles in the Canadian Earth System
Model. Location: Montreal, QC. Contact: david.plummer@ec.gc.ca
2) Improving the simulation of the radiative effects of greenhouse
gases
Accurate parameterization of transmission and absorption by greenhouse
gases in climate models is important for simulations of the climate
effects caused by changes in these gases. The first part of this
project focuses on updating gaseous transmission data in the radiation
parameterization of the Canadian Earth System Model to the newest
available data (HITRAN 2012). The second part of the project will use
the updated model to evaluate the effects on greenhouse gas radiative
forcing, surface ultraviolet radiation, and interactions between
aerosols and radiation, which are sensitive to greenhouse gas radiative
properties. In addition the updated radiative properties should allow
more accurate simulation of radiative forcing in response to very high
CO2 levels, which is not possible with the current radiation
parameterization. Location, Victoria, BC. Contact: jiangnan.li@ec.gc.ca;
jason.cole@ec.gc.ca
3) Diagnosing the spatial distribution of CO2 emissions
In this project inverse calculations employing the Canadian Earth System
Model (CanESM) in a perfect model context will be performed to derive
spatial distributions of anthropogenic CO2 emissions from spatially
varying concentrations of CO2. There are two parts to this study. In
the first part, the question of how well this inverse calculation can be
performed will be investigated. Assuming reasonable results from the
first part, a second investigation will consider the impact of degrading
the quality of CO2 concentration used in the inverse calculation, to
mimic what is currently available from satellites. This should help
provide guidance for the development of observational inverse estimates
of CO2 emissions. Location: Victoria, BC. Contact: vivek.arora@ec.gc.ca;
john.scinocca@ec.gc.ca
The position will be administered under the NSERC Visiting Fellowship in
Canadian Government Laboratories Program. Application instructions are
provided on the NSERC website at
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/PD-NP/Laboratories-Labor
atoires/index_eng.asp. Fellowships are awarded for one year, with the
possibility of renewal for a second and third year. The standard stipend
is CDN $50,503. An increase may be possible depending on the candidate's
experience. Candidates should hold a PhD in a relevant field from within
the past five years. Interested applicants should submit a copy of their
CV to the relevant contact person listed above. Review of applications
will begin on August 17th, for a start date no later than January 31st
2016.
