[ES_JOBS_NET] Post-doctoral researcher in Atmospheric Aerosols and Convection at NCAR

[Mary Barth]

There is an opening for a post-doctoral researcher at NCAR in the 
Atmospheric Chemistry Observations and Modeling Laboratory to conduct 
research on the removal of aerosols by convective storms.The project 
aims to determine aerosol scavenging efficiencies and evaluate with 
aircraft observations modeled scavenging of aerosols in different types 
of convection from airmass storms to severe storms. The observational 
analysis will make use of NASA data from three field campaigns, the 2012 
DC3 experiment focused on US storms in springtime, the 2013 SEAC4RS 
experiment that included investigations of convection in the south and 
southeast US, and the 2019 CAMP2Ex experiment that examined convection 
near the Philippines.

This work will employ the WRF-Chem and CESM CAM-chem models configured 
at different scales from cloud-resolving scales to regional-scales to 
global-scales. The postdoctoral fellow will conduct WRF-Chem simulations 
of existing case studies from DC3 and SEAC4RS, participate in the 
analysis of the observations of these case studies, and analyze output 
from the CAM-chem model including its MUSICA V0 configuration. The 
postdoctoral fellow will configure and conduct WRF-Chem simulations of 
CAMP2Ex case studies identified by the project’s team. One outcome of 
the research is introducing improved model parameterizations into the 
community CAM-chem model of aerosol scavenging based on cloud-scale and 
cloud-parameterized simulations.

The postdoctoral fellow will work collaboratively with project leads and 
team members within NCAR’s ACOM laboratory, university collaborators, 
and NASA scientists to advance the science in aerosol scavenging and 
representing this important depositional sink in air quality and climate 
models while gaining post-doctoral research experience.
