<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:justify;background:white;vertical-align:baseline">
<span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:black">The incumbent of this position will work in the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) at NASA GSFC to investigate impacts of orbital sampling on the quality of weather analyses and
forecasts. The researcher will use the GMAO’s GEOS modeling, data assimilation, and observation simulation sensitivity study (OSSE) capabilities to define and conduct experiments that contribute to assessments of the impact of orbital drift of polar orbiting
satellites on the quality of the analyses. The work will involve use of existing data alongside idealized OSSEs and provide quantitative assessments using standard metrics of performance, such as forecast skill and observation impact metrics. The work will
eventually evolve to studies of optimal observing systems for NWP, with applications to future scenarios that combine large operational platforms from international weather services with constellation of smaller platforms that may be launched by commercial
vendors. The work will be performed in conjunction with the task sponsor and a team of researchers in the GMAO. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
