Duties:
The trouble includes growth of Earth satellite tv for pc multi-sensor, multi-variate land knowledge assimilation programs (LDAS) inside NASA's Land Data System (LIS) for improved understanding of worldwide warming affect on terrestrial hydrology water and power stability processes. Particular focus can be on additional enhancements to the Nationwide Local weather Evaluation-Land Knowledge Assimilation System, or NCA-LDAS over the continental U.S., Alaska, and US. Territories. Land floor fashions (LSMs) for use will embody primarily Noah-MP and Catchment LM, however others could also be added. At the moment assimilated satellite-based geophysical information embody snow water equal and depth, soil moisture, floor temperature, vegetation properties, groundwater and floor water peak. Work will additional improve the LDAS assimilation and parameterizations for high-latitude processes for Alaska and embody glacier accumulation and soften, lake dynamics, and permafrost. Time sequence NCA-LDAS power and water flux and states merchandise can be analyzed for local weather change indicators based mostly comparable to hydrologic tendencies. Analysis can be carried out underneath the general path of the Sponsor, Dr. Michael Jasinski. Different associated terrestrial hydrology research may be applied. Analysis additionally requires writing manuscripts for submission to see overview journals, shows at nationwide and worldwide conferences and responding to the suitable requires proposals.
{Qualifications}:
A PhD in Earth Science, hydrology, civil engineering or associated area. Information of land floor hydrology modeling, experience in knowledge assimilation, Fortran90 & C programming, a number of knowledge codecs together with GRIB, NetCDF and HDF. Fascinating experience consists of information of satellite tv for pc imagery and expertise in satellite-observed and/or in-situ knowledge assimilation, together with using numerous hydrologic fashions and ensemble methods, processing massive quantities of numerical output knowledge on mainframe supercomputers in a FORTRAN/UNIX surroundings, cloud computing and utilizing superior statistical and show instruments. Further extremely fascinating qualities embody expertise working in a group surroundings, good written and oral communication expertise, and the power to study and develop scientific functionality and management in knowledge assimilation. Capability to acquire all needed safety clearances for entry to NASA GSFC and its laptop programs is crucial.
To Apply: candidates ought to ship a CV with an inventory of a minimum of 3 skilled references and a canopy letter explaining how your {qualifications} meet the posted necessities to anegri@umd.edu.
