*Applying a new adaptive multi-scale atmospheric modelling framework
(Post-doctoral Research Position, fixed term)*
The atmospheric process group within the Department of Geography at the
University of Cambridge is looking for a Post-doctoral Research
Associate to work on high-resolution (LES) simulations of atmospheric
processes. A new multi-scale atmospheric modelling framework will be
used in two applications: the simulation of extreme precipitation events
in coastal areas and the study of atmospheric pollution in an urban
context. The influence of climate change and limits of predictability
will be assessed. In addition, existing physical parameterisations such
as cloud microphysics, radiation, surface fluxes and turbulent mixing
will be further developed within the multi-scale atmospheric modelling
framework.
The post is part of two projects: the European Consortium PEARL
http://www.pearl-fp7.eu - Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in
coastal regions - and the UK consortium MAGIC http://www.magic-air.uk -
Managing Air for Green Inner Cities. The main goal of PEARL is to
develop adaptive risk management measures and strategies for coastal
communities against extreme hydro-meteorological events. MAGIC aims to
develop a new modelling capability and decision support system to reduce
air pollution and temperatures in cities.
In collaboration with Imperial College, London a new adaptive
multi-scale multi-physical atmospheric modelling framework has been
developed by combining existing physical modules from the Cambridge LES
model ATHAM (Active Tracer High-resolution Atmospheric Model) with
Imperial College's dynamical core FLUIDITY on an unstructured mesh that
allows for grid adaptation. Simulations of past and hypothetical future
test cases will be performed. For PEARL, limitations of predictability
will be assessed and input will be provided to wave, ocean and
hydrological models for the assessment of flooding and its impact in
coastal environments. Within MAGIC, air pollution on building to
neighbourhood scales will be assessed.
The post involves travel to international conferences and project
meetings. There will be the possibility to co-advise doctoral students
and potentially other teaching opportunities.
Applicants should have a doctorate in atmospheric physics or a related
field and ideally a strong background in high-resolution modelling of
atmospheric processes. Proficiency in computer programming (e.g.
FORTRAN) and model development is expected. Experience with cloud
aerosol microphysical and surface flux parameterisations or atmospheric
chemistry is advantageous.
Informal inquiries should be directed to Dr Michael Herzog by email,
mh526@cam.ac.uk.
Fixed term: The funds for this post are available for 30 months in the
first instance.
Salary range: £28,982-£37,768 depending on experience.
Closing date: 12 June 2016.

Subject: [Met-jobs] Engineer position on the assimilation of infrared
satellite data at CNRM, Toulouse, France
Message-ID: <663126788.25803187.1463474591195.JavaMail.root@meteo.fr>

CALL FOR APPLICATION: ENGINEER POSITION (1 year)
The Numerical Weather Prediction group of CNRM (Météo-France and CNRS) is seeking an engineer to work on the simulation and the assimilation of infrared satellite data.
Localisation:Météo-France,CNRM,Toulouse
Supervisor: Dr Vincent Guidard and Dr Nadia Fourrié
1-year position with possibility of 1-year extension
Context:
The French space agency (CNES) develops a program named IASI-NG to propose a new infrared passive sounder, which would have enhanced radiometric noise and spectral resolution, compared to IASI. IASI-NG will measure at 16921 wavelengths (or channels) in each sounding pixel. This new sensor will fly on board a series a European polar-orbiting satellites from 2020 for 20 years. IASI-NG characteristics will lead to huge improvements if the detection and retrieval of numerous chemical species, aerosols and will notably improve the retrievals of thermodynamic profiles. Among the hyperspectral infrared sounder users, three communities have gathered to get prepared to the use of IASI-NG: numerical weather prediction, atmospheric composition and climate monitoring.
The engineer will work in the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) group of CNRM, which is in charge of any research aiming at improving Météo-France NWP models. Observations have already been simulated for IASI-NG in the lab and provided to the three communities. They will be used in the activities listed below.
Activities:
In order to quantify IASI-NG benefits for the NWP community, the framework of observation system simulation experiments (OSSEs) will be used to estimate the benefits of IASI-NG. The incumbent will:
1- select the most informative channels for NWP (over sea, clear sky conditions); evaluate the subsequent atmospheric profiles retrieved using a 1-D variational technique.
2- compare profiles retrieved from IASI-NG to those retrieved from IASI data.
3- simulate new IASI-NG datasets in Météo-France operational NWP models (global model ARPEGE and convective scale model AROME), based on the aforementioned channel selection; then evaluate the assimilation of these data and compare the results to those obtained with IASI data.
These activities will lead to scientific publications written by the incumbent and oral presentation in conferences.
Qualifications:
· Strong skills in Linux, Unix, Fortan 90.
· Good knowledge of data assimilation (in particular in the frame of numerical weather prediction).
· Good knowledge of the radiative transfer and infrared passive measurement
· Good interpersonal skills
· Excellent knowledge of English or French and a good working knowledge of the other language.
Education:
Engineer or master degree.
Salary:
According to the CNRS grid, and upon qualification and experience, the net monthly salary will range from 1500 € to 1800 €.
The applicants should send the listed documents by e-mail to vincent.guidard@meteo.fr not later than June the 17th, 2016
- a curriculum vitae, which details the scientific activities
- an application letter, including a detailed statement of research interest
- the names, telephone and email address of 2 referees
The applicants will be informed of the decision before mid-July 2016 .
The position will start around the beginning of September 2016 .

The Mesoscale Meteorology and Climate Research Group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Environmental Research at the Goethe Univ. Frankfurt invites applications for a
PhD position "Convective processes in a changing climate" (65%)
The recent increase in computational resources has allowed to use regional climate models at a scale fine enough to resolve explicitly deep convection. The first decadal simulations have shown an important added value for modelling realistically convection related fields (e.g., precipitation, hail, lightning, etc.). Recent related studies suggest that the natural hazard due to convection in a changing climate may be underestimated in global and coarse regional simulations. However, the reason for this possible underestimation is not yet fully understood and many scientific questions remain.
Your tasks:
• Perform regional climate simulations
• Apply innovative analysis techniques to large datasets
• Investigate changes in convection occurrence and development in an altered climate
Your profile:
• master's or diploma degree in meteorology, physics, mathematics or a related field
• very good written and oral communication skills in English and good skill in German (oral and written reporting to funding agency)
• good programming and numerical skills will be an asset
• ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
Salary and benefits are according to a public service position in Germany (TV-G-U E13, 65%). The position is open from September, 1st 2016 and will be limited to a period of 36 months. The Goethe University supports equal opportunity of men and women and therefore strongly invites women to apply. Equally qualified handicapped applicants will be given preference. The type of handicap should not prevent work needed to conduct the research. The duty station will be Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The employer is the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.
Frankfurt am Main is a medium sized city in the heart of Europe. It is known as a modern green city, with large parks and a small mountain range (858m) that can easily be reached by bus. Frankfurt is also known to be an international city with multicultural and multilingual inhabitants. Due to Its location and infrastructure four capitals can be reached (Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam or Paris) in less than four hours by train. In addition, it is located 15 min away from the second largest airport in Europe.
Please send your application before June, 1st 2016 by e-mail (attachment in a single pdf document) and including a letter outlining your suitability for the post, a detailed CV, contact details of 2 references and a copy of your diploma-thesis and/or other exams to Andrea Radomilja Ruiz (RadomiljaRuiz@iau.uni-frankfurt.de).
For scientific enquiries please contact Dr. E. Brisson (brisson@iau.uni-frankfurt.de) or Prof. Dr. B. Ahrens (Bodo.Ahrens@iau.uni-frankfurt.de).

Associate in modelling the chemical composition of the global
troposphere
Message-ID: <573C43CB.3000508@ed.ac.uk>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
Objective of post:
To interpret observed variations of reactive trace gases and aerosol
particles measured by ground-based and airborne instruments, and by
Earth-orbiting satellites. This will be achieved by using cutting-edge
atmospheric chemistry transport model and inverse model techniques, and
also working closely with UK, European and international measurement teams.
Within this project you will 1) develop an established atmospheric
chemistry transport model (GEOS-Chem,
http://acmg.seas.harvard.edu/geos/) to understand observations of
reactive trace gases (e.g., halogenated compounds, tropospheric ozone,
methane, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde) and aerosol particles,
building on previous group research; 2) confront the chemistry transport
model with a range of data from international measurement campaigns and
Earth-orbiting satellites; and 3) use an inverse model approach to infer
land surface emissions of trace gases from observed trace gas
variations. The work will be undertaken in cooperation with other
research teams.
Start date: before late NH Summer 2016.
Duration: This post is fixed term for 2 years.
