<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#555555">The Global Systems Division (GSD) of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) is designing, developing and testing new weather models to improve weather prediction. The goal is to improve
prediction of severe weather including hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, flooding, and other weather that can have enormous impact on transportation, commerce, energy, and other sectors of the U.S. economy. Increasingly accurate forecasts depend on large
high-performance supercomputers to run advanced weather prediction models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#555555">GSD is collaborating with the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of the National Weather Service (NWS) as well as other NOAA laboratories and national research institutes on the
next generation Unified Forecast System (UFS). Key NOAA strategic mission goals are designed to reduce the loss of life, injury, and economic costs. To achieve these goals NOAA will improve Subseasonal to Seasonal (S2S), medium range global prediction, and
regional and storm scale prediction capabilities for weather and possibly air quality. Since computational efficiency is of great importance, the scientist will help to optimize and transfer GSD’s global and regional-scale Numerical Weather Prediction knowledge
developed for the High Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) and Rapid Refresh (RAP) Weather Research Forecasting dynamic core models into NOAA’s new unified Finite Volume (FV3) dynamic core modeling system. The successful candidate may work on a progression of
three related projects over the next several years. These include the development and demonstration of the value of the Convection-Allowing Model (CAM) forecast systems to help increase lead times for hazardous weather events, the improvement and inclusion
of advanced state-of-the-art physical parameterizations in both regional and global version of the UFS, and the improvement and inclusion of aerosol and chemistry modules in the UFS. This position requires an individual who has strong skills in software development,
model building, and helping construct a software infrastructure that will eventually be used for both research and operations within NOAA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
