<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:black">A Scientist II will work to advance land data assimilation within the coupled atmosphere-ocean-land Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model and its associated Data Assimilation System.
He/she will integrate and improve existing land data assimilation components, in particular those using satellite observations of soil moisture, snow, and land surface temperature, within the GEOS hybrid (ensemble-variational) atmospheric data assimilation
system. The developments support applications of land data assimilation to the initialization of weather and seasonal forecasts and to the improvement of our understanding of land-atmosphere interactions. A particular focus of the candidate will be to lead
the science development and implementation of the land component of GMAO’s next reanalysis system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
