CEDAR email: Job: Use COSMIC-2 to improve ionospheric scintillation specification and forecasting

[Rob Redmon - NOAA Federal]

Colleagues, please take note of and share the following UCAR / NCAR job
opportunity:

https://ucar.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/UCAR_Careers/job/Foothills-Lab-4/NESDIS-Associate-Scientist-III_REQ-2021-41-1

"This position will utilize ionospheric radio occultation data from the
COSMIC-2 satellite constellation to improve the specification and
forecasting of ionospheric scintillation. Ionospheric scintillation refers
to the rapid modification of radio waves caused by small-scale structure in
the ionosphere, which degrades the accuracy of space-based positioning,
navigation, and timing. COSMIC-2 is a six satellite constellation launched
on June 25, 2019 to low-Earth orbit. COSMIC-2 makes radio-occultation
measurements using signals from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)
such as GPS and GLONASS. COSMIC-2 also makes in-situ measurements of the
ionosphere. The incumbent will use the measurements from COSMIC-2 together
with ground-based GNSS measurements and numerical models to develop
improved techniques for specifying and forecasting the occurrence of
ionospheric scintillation. It is desired that this research will lead to
improved ionospheric services at the Space Weather Prediction Center. The
research will involve collaboration with scientists at the Space Weather
Prediction Center, the University of Colorado, the National Centers for
Environmental Information, and NCAR."
