<b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">Brief description</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">: Due to its chaotic nature, the interactions between clouds and the atmospheric flow are only vaguely understood and at the same time notoriously difficult
to simulate. Not surprisingly, they are an important source of error in weather and climate models. In this project, we will investigate how the representation of clouds affects the jet stream and the storm tracks on monthly to seasonal time scales in high-resolution
modelling experiments. The candidate will perform large-eddy simulations over large and realistic domains encompassing the North Atlantic storm track. The simulations will be performed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS). Cloud-circulation interactions
are investigated using online parcel trajectories, which accumulate the influence of various physical process along the trajectories. During the first year, model developments in a high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, jointly with a scientific
programmer and supported by the center for climate systems modeling (C2SM), are an integral part of the project. The ideal candidate has a keen interest in atmospheric dynamics and in high-resolution numerical modelling.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
