[ES_JOBS_NET] CIRES/ NOAA PSD Post-Doctoral Researcher, Boulder (CO)

[Jimena Ugaz]

Shallow clouds over the tropical and subtropical oceans are intimately linked to the thermodynamic structure of the boundary layer and the way the boundary layer transports energy and moisture between the ocean, the boundary layer, and the free atmosphere. That coupling, in turn, helps to establish the planet's large-scale circulation, especially the strength and magnitude of the ITCZ. The University of Colorado's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) and the Physics Sciences Division (PSD) at the NOAA Earth System Research Lab in scenic Boulder, Colorado, seeks a hardworking and capable postdoc to help us better understand these interactions.

The project will involve high-resolution modeling interpreted through an analytic framework that focuses on surface-boundary layer-free atmospheric coupling, with the aim of improving the representation of air-sea coupling in models with parameterized shallow convection. The process modeling study will be focused on the ATOMIC/EUREC4A-OA field campaigns that will take place east of Barbados during January-February, 2020. One focus of the work will be understanding how meso-scale circulations in the atmosphere and ocean affect this coupling, with the long-term goal of representing these "grey-zone" processes in global predictive systems. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher with experience in some mix of atmospheric boundary layer dynamics, air-sea interactions, and upper ocean physics. Candidates should be comfortable with high-performance computing and data analysis.
