[ES_JOBS_NET] Project Scientist I, atmospheric/climate modeling, NCAR, Boulder, CO

[Colin Zarzycki]

The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has an opening for a
Project Scientist supporting an interagency collaborative project to
investigate turbulent momentum transport processes in climate models. This
project focuses on improving the representation of these processes in the
Cloud Layers Unified by Binormals (CLUBB) subgrid turbulence and convection
framework.

The incumbent will lead and/or contribute to:
i) Designing and carrying out numerical experiments with the Community
Earth System Model (CESM) to investigate momentum transport processes and
their sensitivity to various formulations and parameter choices at a range
of model resolutions;
ii) Coordinating with large-eddy simulation (LES) modelers to evaluate
momentum transport in LES and to design targeted experiments where needed;
and
iii) Formulating updated or redesigned momentum transport algorithms for
CLUBB and implementing these in CESM.

The project partners include researchers at Pennsylvania State University,
University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee and NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Laboratory (GFDL) as well as LES researchers in NCAR’s Mesoscale and
Microscale Meteorology Lab (MMM). This collaborative project aims to
provide improved understanding and parameterization capability to NCAR and
NOAA climate modeling efforts.

.

Please feel free to contact Julio Bacmeister (juliob at ucar.edu) or Colin
Zarzycki (czarzycki at psu.edu) with specific questions regarding the
position.

Apologies for any cross-posting.
