Dear All,
Earth Sciences Simulation Environments course is the first in series of HPC
courses for computational Scientists in the BSC professional training
program. For the first time, it also includes an interactive session
allowing participants to share their experiences in presentation. If you are
interested to do so, please contact the conveners directly by emailing Enza
Di Tomaso enza.ditomaso@bsc.es <mailto:enza.ditomaso@bsc.es>
As usual the teaching and the materials are in English and there are no fees
for participation.
The objective of this PATC course is to cover the basics of a high
performance computing (HPC) environment oriented towards earth science
applications, specifically chemical weather modelling and climate modelling.
More precisely, the course will cover:
* Introduction to earth science fundamentals and modelling;
* Basic usage of an HPC environment: shell, compilers, libraries, file
systems, queuing system;
* Build and configure targeted earth science applications with the
NMMB/BSC-CTM chemical transport model and with the EC-EARTH climate model;
* Execute and monitor numerical experiments using a workflow manager;
* Analyse and visualise model outputs with a wide set of tools.
For more information and to register for this course (before Nov. 23),
please visit:

HAMTEC Consulting a provider of quality staff to the aerospace industry.
We are currently seeking a member of staff with university degree in a
relevant discipline with a minimum of 3 years experience of the development
and implementation of software for operational processing of satellite or
meteorological data and a minimum of 3 years work experience in UNIX
application development and testing in C and C++. Experience in scientific
processing in general and the Fortran programming language would be a
distinct advantage.
Location: Darmstadt, Germany
Start Date: March 2017
Closing date: 18th November 2016
TASKS:
The tasks of the key person will include:
* Establishing a generic development platform which in its full
configuration would specifically address multi-angle, multi-spectral,
polarimeter observations but would also be used to explore the applicability
and relevance to other instrument classes (e.g. dual-view instruments, polar
orbiting imagers, geostationary imagers). Note: the platform is expected to
be based on pre-existing algorithms and tools such as the GRASP toolbox
(http://www.grasp-open.com/) tailored to the EUMETSAT development
environment and scientific needs;
* Developing a multi-mission product monitoring capability based on
the initial capability developed for the Metop PMAp product;
* Deriving relevant data from internal and external sources to support
product quality monitoring in the relevant operational monitoring system;
* Evaluation of a pre-existing prototype processor for aerosol optical
depth retrieval from MSG with the aim of maximising commonalities with other
EUMETSAT aerosol algorithms where feasible and appropriate;
* Supporting the development of 3MI retrieval algorithms, in
particular in the frame of the generic aerosol development platform;
* Streamlining algorithm product processor elements (e.g. aerosol
models, radiative transfer etc) across missions where feasible and
appropriate based on an evaluation of algorithm architecture in cooperation
with the responsible aerosol retrieval scientist;
* Performing off-line analysis of processor performance and product
quality;
* Supporting the validation of EUMETSAT aerosol products and the
compilation of the relevant product validation reports.
Qualifications and Experience
* A University degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline
* A minimum of 3 years experience of the development and
implementation of software for operational processing of satellite or
meteorological data.
* A minimum of 3 years work experience in UNIX application development
and testing in C and C++. Experience in scientific processing in general and
the Fortran programming language would be a distinct advantage.
Essential Skills
* Quality control of satellite data and products,
* Operational product processing environments
* Software build environments and tools (e.g. make, imake, eclipse,
insure++);
* Source code control system, (e.g. Subversion or Git);
* Experience and skills in working in projects and environments
characterised by a diversity of stakeholders.
Desirable Skills
* Inverse modelling of atmospheric composition using (vector)
radiative transfer models
* Aerosol optical properties retrieval from satellite data;
* Calibration and validation of satellite products;
* Knowledge of the EPS and MSG missions and instruments.
* Java programming;
* Usage of relational databases (sql programming)
* Experience with Scripting languages e.g. Python, Perl, Tcl/Tk,
shell;
* Production monitoring and reporting
