<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to work on a project broadly aimed at developing a better understanding of deep convective initiation, organization,
dynamics, and microphysics for the purpose of improving its representation in multi-scale models. The particular scientific foci are flexible within the topic of deep convective cloud life cycle, but the postdoc will be expected to analyze recent field campaign
measurements centered around Ka-, X-, and C-band polarimetric radar data and GOES-16 satellite retrievals in collaboration with several scientists at PNNL. Possible research could include (i) two-way interactions between microphysical processes and convective
circulations such as updrafts, downdrafts, and cold pools, (ii) impacts of various environmental variables on convective cloud and mesoscale system macrophysical, microphysical, and dynamical evolution, (iii) sensitivity of simulated convective cloud life
cycle to model resolution and microphysics parameterization, and (iv) investigation of potential model bias causes. Additionally, the postdoc may contribute to analyzing the ability of models to reproduce observed impacts of convective clouds and precipitation
on surface properties, aerosol redistribution, and boundary layer evolution with feedbacks to subsequent convective cloud development. Research will include a combination of focused case studies and statistical examination of a population of well-observed
cases.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
