<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:Times">JISAO research scientists have developed the JISAO
Seasonal Coastal Ocean Prediction of the Ecosystem (J-SCOPE) project. J-SCOPE
provides predictions of ocean conditions in the coastal region of the Pacific
Northwest six to nine months into the future. Predicted quantities include
temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll concentrations.
Forecasts are available to the public for use by the shellfish and fishing
industries, as well as the broader research community. J-SCOPE scientists are
now updating the experimental forecasts regularly during the year, providing
on-going evaluations of forecast accuracy, and investigating improved
forecasting methods. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Times">The successful applicant
will manage, as part of the J-SCOPE team, production of the model climatology
and forecasts. Applicants must have at minimum a M. Sc. degree in a relevant
discipline and preference will be given to applicants who have experience with
ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) based models and knowledge of Unix
systems. The incumbent will work with the existing team of researchers on the presentation
of the results for the NANOOS website, peer-reviewed journal articles, and
scientific presentations. </span></p>
