Hyperspectral Sounding
Products Generation Prototyping
Specification and Validation Engineer based at EUMETSAT, Darmstadt, Germany
HAMTEC Consulting a provider of quality staff to the aerospace industry.
We are currently seeking a University educated engineer in a relevant
discipline, with a minimum of at least three years of experience in the
field of scientific computing.
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Start Date: 2nd Quarter 2016
Closing date: 8th February 2016
TASKS:
The Key Person will be part of the HSIRL2 team. The Key Person shall
especially contribute to the specifications documentation and prototyping of
the IASI-NG principal components (referred to as L1D in EPS-SG context) and
L2 products generation functions and to the support of the operational
software implementation during the initial development phase of the Payload
Data Acquisition and Processing. Support to the preparation and completion
of the commissioning of IASI/Metop-C is also expected.
The tasks of the Key Person will typically include:
. Analysis of similarities and specificities to the IASI and IASI-NG
processing within the EPS and EPS-SG contexts and the required products,
with the aim to maximize algorithm re-use.
. Maintenance and evolution of the IASI-NG products generation
specification documents, taking into account the above identified
commonalities and specificities.
. Maintenance and evolution of the documentation including new
science resulting from internal developments or external studies or
contributions.
. Contribution to the review and analysis of specification documents
for the input data to the IASI-NG processing chain, e.g. IASI L1c, MWS L1b
etc.
. Contribute to clarifications and answers to issues raised during
the reviews of IASING L1D and L2 documentations; evolve the IASI-NG products
generation specification documents taking the review outcome into account.
. Support the porting and re-use of IASI processing software in the
context of EPS-SG for IASI-NG, including the preparation and documentation
of S/W packages, test and verification data.
. Prototype functions of the IASI-NG L1D and L2 processing chain.
. Adapt and evolve the existing IASI L2 operational processor to
form an IASI-NG prototype, e.g. make it ready to ingest IASI-NG and MWS L1
synthetic test data.
. Contribution to the harmonisation of the IASI and IASI-NG
processors.
. Integration and verification of external software deliveries in
the prototype processor
. Software anomaly fixing
. Code optimisation
. Development and documentation of prototype software and test
procedures
. Generation of test data
. Statistical analysis and visualisation of hyper-spectral infrared
principal components and Level 2 products
. Support L2 monitoring facilities and interpretation
. Contribution to validation reports for IASI operational and
IASI-NG prototype products.

Postdoctoral position in mesoscale weather modeling to enhance fog forecast
Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, UAE, invites applications for a postdoctoral
position to deploy an operational weather forecast model to predict fog formation and dispersion in the
region.
The successful candidate will use Masdar-based HPC and will contribute to deploying and maintaining a
radiometer profiler. The work will focus on a) fog nowcasting using the ground-based radiometer and b)
enhancing the existing version of WRF through the assimilation of remote sensing observations.
Postdoctoral position in air quality modeling using WRF-CHEM
Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, UAE, invites applications for a postdoctoral
position to deploy an operational forecast of gas and aerosol with WRF/CHEM in the UAE supported
with satellite remote sensing monitoring.
The successful candidate will use Masdar-based HPC and will have access to observations from the UAE
in situ air quality network. Plus, the candidate will be trained to use the SEM/EDX for dust morphological
and elemental analysis. The work should lead to the forecast of surface PM2.5 and PM10 and trace
gases concentrations. There is also interest in assessing the impact of aerosols on visibility and solar
radiation as well.
Details can be found in the attached files.
