that involves research and study of atmospheric systems and
processes and the role they play in the Earth's energy and
hydrological cycles. The work involves analyzing and
understanding the effects of the natural environment on the
selection, design, construction, test and operation of
atmospheric and space vehicles. The work involves defining
basic terrestrial and planetary atmospheric environmental
data needed in response calculations of various vehicle
systems; to study space weather/radiation; and to support
engineering and/or operations of various vehicles. The work
involves programming as required to perform duties,
including data reduction, analysis, archiving, and
integration of data, from numerous sources, both historical
and current, to support project requirements and Center
activities. The work involves supporting NASA wide working
groups and committees specific to aerospace meteorology. The
work may also involve supporting climate-adaptive and/or
local climate initiatives at the Agency level. Duties may
also include monitoring contractors engaged in this work.<br>

Below are at the full performance GS-13 level***<br>
<br>
Provide advocacy and technical leadership for both
Agency-sponsored and reimbursable/outside customer
meteorological investigations. Plan, conduct, review and
advise on complex meteorological analysis and development
studies in support of programs, projects, and local
initiatives, including areas where technical problem
definitions, methods, and/or data are highly incomplete,
uncertain or unknown. Plan and conduct complex experimental
meteorological studies that may result in new guidelines,
and/or may have a profound effect on program or mission
capability and/or operating procedures. Document, present and
report study results to management and colleagues, and
maintains professional contacts within the Agency and
industry. Participate in fostering improved service through
the establishment of relationships with customers.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
Serve as an authoritative source of meteorological
consultation for other meteorologists and program specialists
and performs a key role in resolving issues that significantly
affect scientific programs. Lead training and
science/technology infusion initiatives to improve and enhance
forecasts, warnings, and decision support services. Provide
guidance and technical advice to employees and peers in the
performance of related assignments. Represent the
organization, programs, or the government's interests,
including representing the agency before public bodies.
Collaborate with peers across NASA and other Agencies,
academia and the private sector, to identify and/or develop
enhanced forecast procedures and technologies, to be used
in-house.<br>
<br>
Maintain readiness, modernization and operation of the
Center's meteorological infrastructure for gathering
atmospheric science data, for use in project support and/or
meteorological research. Maintain cognizance of current
state-of-the-art as applied to meteorological equipment, and
keeps management and team informed on the status of the
Center's meteorological equipment.<br>
<br>
Launch weather balloons to conduct meteorological science
studies as required. Operate a truck (under 10,000 pounds) to
move weather testing equipment including but not limited to
weather balloons, weather balloon launch systems, helium
tanks, and sensors to deployment locations. This equipment may
weigh up to 50 pounds and may need to be lifted up to one
meter off the ground (to load and unload truck). The
deployment location will primarily be outdoors in the high
Mojave Desert which will include surrounding area dry lake
bed. Driving around Edwards Air Force Base lake beds will
require a Level III flight line driver license.<br>
