The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is an internationally renowned centre for climate research located in Hamburg, Germany. The MPI-M provides a vibrant international and interdisciplinary environment for conducting scientific research as well as access to state-of-the-art scientific facilities. The institute is located in the heart of one of Europe?s most livable cities, and is embedded in an environment known worldwide for its breadth of climate research. We are looking for a
Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f, Ref. MPIM-W006)
in the area of remote sensing of clouds and water vapor. The successful applicant will work with the observational group responsible for maintaining the Barbados Cloud Observatory, and supporting the NARVAL series of aircraft missions with German long-range research aircraft HALO. The position comes with considerable freedom, but applicants with a strong interest in using in-house data to understand the role of shallow convection in determining cloud feedbacks and in setting the structure of larger-scale circulations, e.g, convective aggregation, tropical waves, or the ITCZ are desired. The successful applicant?s research will make a major contribution to the MPI-M's contribution to the WCRP Grand Science Challenge on Clouds, Circulation and Climate Sensitivity (Clouds Circulation and Climate Sensitivity<https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Clouds+Circulation+and+Climate+Sensitivity&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>).
Responsibilities
? To use and curation of data to better understand the role of low cloud in determining climate sensitivity and in setting the structure of tropical circulation systems.

A PhD position is open in the Department of Meteorology, University of
Reading, UK, on the project:
**********************************************************************
* Wind profile effects on gravity wave drag and their impact on the
global atmospheric circulation *
**********************************************************************
The drag force associated with gravity waves generated by flow over the
world's mountain ranges tends to decelerate the large-scale atmospheric
circulation, and must be parametrized in global weather prediction and
climate models, which still do not resolve it adequately. Existing drag
parametrizations are very crude, neglecting, for example, the impact of
wind variations with height on the value of the surface drag, and
partial absorption of wave momentum flux at critical levels. This might
explain the imbalance found in recent evaluations of the earth's angular
momentum budget. Corrections to the drag and wave momentum flux due to a
slow, but generic, variation of the wind with height became available
recently. A preliminary assessment of them using real data
suggests that wind profile effects may increase the surface drag by a
factor of up to 1.5 in the Antarctic region. Drag affects the strength
of the polar vortex, and temperatures in the high atmosphere via thermal
wind balance, with implications for the formation of polar stratospheric
clouds and ozone depletion. This project aims to assess the impact of
wind profile effects on the deceleration of the atmospheric circulation
via orographic drag, using high-resolution numerical simulations (to
test the theory for the wave momentum flux) and real meteorological and
topographic data (to evaluate the impact of this theory on drag
parametrization). The project is done in
collaboration with the UK Met Office.
