[ES_JOBS_NET] Open postdoctoral position at the University of Washington: Terrain-Modified Cloud research

[Lynn A McMurdie]

The Department of Atmospheric Sciences is seeking a Postdoctoral scholar to
study how large-scale transport of upstream properties and terrain-modified
cloud and mesoscale processes affect wintertime orographic precipitation
during The Snow Sensitivity to Clouds in a Mountain Environment (S2noCliME)
Field Campaign in the Park Range of Colorado.  Simulations with the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (or a similar framework) will be used
to simulate storms during the field campaign, including higher resolution
large eddy simulations with WRF-LES that resolve finer features of the flow
around the terrain.  The postdoc will evaluate the fidelity of the
simulations and use them to address questions about the relative roles of
upstream conditions (e.g., moisture and aerosols), large-scale meteorology
and mesoscale flowfield and cloud processes in producing the observed
snowfall during S2noCLIME. The field phase of the project will be in Winter
2025 at the Storm Peak Laboratory at Steamboat Springs ski area in CO.
There will be an opportunity to participate in the field during the data
collection period from 1 December 2024 - 31 March 2025. Anticipated start
date is 1 September 2024, but is negotiable.
