Data Assimilation Scientist - Marine
Location:
College Park, MD
Description:
Axiom is looking for a candidate to support the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) in carrying out research, development, and operational transition work related to satellite data assimilation for future operational applications of the Unified Forecast System (UFS). The candidate's work will involve the development, execution, testing, and evaluation of the direct assimilation of satellite radiances for use in operational environmental prediction capabilities at NCEP. The work location is at the NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) in College Park, MD. Responsibilities The candidate will perform the job duties in a collaborative environment, assisting developing and applying innovative methods for the primary work areas described below. The candidate will work with EMC scientists and external collaborators to develop satellite radiance data assimilation capabilities for use in applications of the UFS, with emphasis on global numerical weather prediction for the medium range weather application. In particular, the radiance assimilation component will utilize the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM). Future assimilation related developments will leverage and contribute to the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation, including the Joint Effort for Data assimilation Integration (JEDI) project. The successful candidate will work in the following areas: Provide support for currently assimilated infrared and microwave radiances for operational application at NCEP. Develop new or enhance existing techniques for the improved assimilation of satellite radiance data Prepare, design, and advance components to enable the assimilation of data for future satellite missions Design, setup, and execute impact assessment and pre-implementation testing to facilitate possible transition to operations Improve upon quality control, bias correction, and/or observation error specification to enhance the assimilation of satellite radiance data Qualifications Demonstrated knowledge, skills and abilities in the following areas: Required: Knowledge of data assimilation with focus on the satellite radiance assimilation for numerical weather prediction. Knowledge of the physical and mathematical basis of geophysical modeling (atmospheric and/or environmental) and experience running advanced numerical weather prediction (NWP) models Advanced knowledge of radiative transfer and experience with radiative transfer modeling for data assimilation, such as the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) or Radiative Transfer for TOVS (RTTOV) Knowledge and experience of modern programming languages such as object-oriented FORTRAN, Python, and/or C++ Experience working in a UNIX environment with advanced scripting languages Good oral and written communication skills in English Desired: Experience in running numerical models on High Performing Computer (HPC) platforms using MPI, OpenMP, Slurm, LSF, etc. Familiarity with variational data assimilation techniques. Experience with coupled earth system models. Knowledge of modern software engineering practices (requirements gathering, design, prototyping, version control, integration, testing, and documentation). Axiom offers competitive compensation packages including comprehensive medical/dental/life insurance and matching 401(k) contribution. Equal Opportunity Employer/Protected Veterans/Individuals with DisabilitiesThe contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant.
