Topic:
Future changes of tropical cyclones in East Asia and potential
adaptation measures
(FUCHA-TC)

Potential PhD Studentship in the context of the Central England NERC
Training Alliance (CENTA)
(<http://www.centa.org.uk/>)

Overview
Climate over eastern Asia is mainly characterized by the East-Asian
summer monsoon (EASM), the related formation of the quasi-stationary
Changma-Baiu-Meiyu frontal system, and the occurrence of tropical
cyclones (TCs). Possible changes of the EASM and the occurrence of
extreme tropical cyclones under enhanced greenhouse gas concentrations
could have high impact on society and economy of one of the most densely
populated regions of the globe.

Regional decision processes for the development of suitable adaptation
strategies or the timely initiation of related mitigation efforts in
East Asia will strongly depend on robust and comprehensive information
about future near-term as well as long-term potential changes in the
climate system. Based on physical process understanding, it is important
to quantify the regional effects of global or hemispheric scale
phenomena for both, the scientific community to understand potential
changes and the impact community (incl. decision makers) to act
proactively in the most suitable manner. The three most important
aspects in this context are the provision of a) relevant, timely, and b)
comprehensive information about potential changes as well as c)
information about the quality of the confidence in the information.

FUCHA-TC
is aimed at analysing and assessing economic losses caused by TCs in the
East Asian region. Additionally different adaptation measures damping
future losses should be compared. The main goals are to

·establish a relationship between observed TCs and observed economic
losses triggered by them, in order to

·predict possible future changes in frequency and intensity, thereby
estimating a change in damage for the climate predictions and eventually to

·decide which adaptation strategies are suitable for the East Asian
region given the future changes of TCs.

This study will be embedded in the project FOREX (Fostering Regional
Decision Making by the Assessment of Uncertainties of Future Regional
Extremes and their Linkage to Global Climate System Variability for
China and East Asia), which is part of the Met Office CSSP China project
funded by the Newton fund. FOREX aims to analyse changes of local and
regional extreme events (TCs, EASM) under changed future climate
conditions using a huge amount of different climate projection datasets
(CMIP3, CMIP5, Perturbed-physic ensembles) with a strong focus on
climate change signals on longer time-scales.

CENTA students will attend 45 days training throughout their PhD
including a 10 day placement. In the first year, students will be
trained as a single cohort on environmental science, research methods
and core skills. Throughout the PhD, training will progress from core
skills sets to master classes specific to the student's projects and themes.

Specific for this project, the PhD student will gain skills to analyse
state-of-the-art forecast data. This training will be in direct
modelling as well as in a response surface approach and, specifically,
is in:

·extreme value and multi-variate analytical statistics

·statistical modelling (multi-linear regression)

·the basics of CAT models and their specific features to model hazards,
vulnerabilities and exposure

·fieldwork, integrated modelling,

·GIS, and relevant programming giving the student skills identified as
'most wanted' for environmental jobs; 'modelling',
'multi-disciplinarity', 'risk and uncertainty'.

This is excellent employment market preparation as scientific research
skills, technical analysis and industry related model skills will be
practiced and gained.

Partners in this CENTA-PhD studentship will be UoBirmingham and regional
partners in China (e.g. the Nanjing University) with which the PI has
scientific collaboration in the framework of the CSSP-China project.
Further on, collaborations exist with different groups at the UK Met
Office, who is leading institution in this Newton Fund funded project.

Applications for the 2017/18 intake are now open.

Please note that the closing date for applications is 23rd January 2017.

Postdoctoral position in Regional Earth System Modeling at UCLA

The UCLA Dept. of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences has received a 5-year NSF Collaborative Research award for assessment of the future evolution of the four Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). This project aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of climate change and its interplay with decadal variability over the coming decades in coastal upwelling systems. As described below, UCLA seeks one postdoctoral scholar to work on this project.

The postdoctoral scholars will oversee continued development and application of atmospheric (WRF) and oceanic (ROMS) components, including physical and biogeochemical aspects (BEC model). Development activities will concentrate mainly on improvement of the coupled model, while applications include analyses of coastal air-sea interaction, and mechanisms of climate change (e.g., cloud response, wind, upwelling, biogeochemical response). The position will be supervised by Dr. Lionel Renault and will also involve collaboration with other faculty and researchers within UCLA (Profs. Alex Hall and Jim McWilliams, Drs. Sebastien Masson and Fayçal Kessouri) and University of Washington (Prof. Curtis Deutsch). The position is available for one year, initially, and will be renewable on an annual basis. It is available immediately, although the start date is negotiable.

Applicants should have a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences or a related field, effective oral and written communication skills, and an interest in collaborative research and climate change. Strong programming skills are also essential. Experience running regional or global numerical models will be an advantage, especially WRF, ROMS and/or biogeochemical models. Applicants should submit a brief statement of research interests and goals and a complete CV, including contact information for three references to Dr. Lionel Renault. Applications should be respectively submitted via email to lrenault at atmos.ucla.edu<http://atmos.ucla.edu>. Consideration of applications will begin immediately.

UCLA and UW are an Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action employer. All
qualified applicants, including minorities and women, are encouraged to apply.

*Atmospheric Scientist, Asiaq, Greenland Survey*
We offer a challenging permanent position for an atmospheric researcher at Asiaq, Greenland Survey. Asiaq is leading the ClimateBasis sub-programme of the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring Project (GEM, www.g-e-m.dk<http://www.g-e-m.dk>). ClimateBasis' mission is to provide reliable data for interdisciplinary ecosystem studies that cover atmospheric, water and snow parameters since 1996 in Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland, since 2007 in Nuuk, Southwest Greenland and since 2016 in Qeqertarsuaq, West Greenland. The spatial expansion of the program also led to significant new instrumentation with a focus on boundary layer stability and clouds as an energy balance modulator. A HATPRO Microwave radiometer and several automated hemispherical sky cameras are operating. The researcher will be responsible for maintaining/calibrating the instruments and for quality control, processing and analysis of the data. A climatology of boundary layer stability, inversion height, cloud cover and cloud type will be related to other parameters relevant for the cryosphere (e.g., sea ice cover and snow pack variability) and ecosystems (e.g., vegetation gradients). In a further step the data should be used for testing atmospheric model performance in case studies and a connection to other monitoring sites in Greenland with boundary layer research is envisaged. Tight collaboration with international partners within GEM and beyond is envisaged and facilitated. Scientific publishing and proposal writing will be an important component of this position.
You are an atmospheric scientist with an excellent publication record and a well-established international network. Ideally, you have experience with boundary layer research in the Arctic, microwave radiometry and the cloud/energy balance nexus or at least some of these areas. Your programming skills are excellent and processing of large data amounts and/or database handling is natural to you. You are excited about working in an international environment, have experimental field experience and can imagine living in fascinating Greenland. Excellent spoken and written English is required.
Asiaq is a company owned by the Greenland Government and is responsible for monitoring the non-living environment in Greenland. Asiaq consists of a mapping, geotechnic/surveying, remote sensing and a hydrology and climate group with ca 25 flexible, interdisciplinary and international employees. Our tasks range from the commercial via the consultancy to research sectors.
Employment conditions follow the agreement between the Greenland Governement and the respective union and are competitive at international standards. Workplace is Nuuk, Greenland's capital with its thriving multi-ethnic community and its endless outdoor opportunities in the backyard. Asiaq will cover relocation to Greenland for the employee, partner and children.
Application deadline is 10-02-2017 and the position will be filled as soon as possible.
Please send a letter of motivation, a CV, a list of publications, relevant exam records and contact information for two referees with subject 'Researcher - atmosphere' to: asiaq@asiaq.gl<mailto:asiaq@asiaq.gl>
Find information on Asiaq, products, tasks and research on http://www.asiaq.gl<http://www.asiaq.gl/>. You are welcome to contact Dr Jakob Abermann for additional information under +299-348852 or via jab@asiaq.gl<mailto:jab@asiaq.gl>

Geography and Hydrology.

Job description

A two-year postdoctoral research position is sought within the research
area "Impacts of climate variability and change on the Earth's physical
system". Unusual or extreme weather and climate-related events are of
great public concern and a key question is whether such events are
likely to become more (or less) frequent in the coming decades and
whether we are already observing such changes. Focus is on the impacts
of climate variability and change, in particular extreme weather and
climate-related events (e.g., extreme precipitation or temperature,
prolonged dry and wet spells, rain-on-snow events) on the terrestrial
part of the hydrological cycle. Such water related physical impacts
include floods, dry soils, low groundwater levels and river flows, high
water temperatures, reduced snow cover and frozen ground. The work will
embrace an understanding of how impacts may overlap and interact in time
and space, leading to increased exposure.

The work aims to maximize the integration of available observational and
model data for impact assessment, addressing the large uncertainties in
future projections and the need for a better understanding of the
potential impacts of extreme hydrometeorological events. The region of
interest is northern Europe, but other regions with similar
hydroclimatological conditions may be considered as well. Various
analytical and modelling tools are relevant, including statistical
approaches, regional climate modelling and large-scale hydrological (or
land surface) models to support extreme weather and climate-related
impact studies.

The fellowship is interdisciplinary and the candidate will work closely
with researchers from other sections, foremost meteorologists, and
contribute to existing climate and climate impact research at the
department, including related activities within the strategic research
area LATICE (<http://mn.uio.no/latice>). International collaboration
will be encouraged building on already well-established networks.

Requirements/qualifications:

Applicants must have a doctoral degree in a hydrology, meteorology or
related geo-scientific field with documented knowledge relevant for the
qualifications given above.

Candidates should have a good process understanding of Earth System
Sciences and have documented experience in assessing the impact of
climate variability and change on the physical system. The successful
candidate should further demonstrate:

Strong quantitative skills, including large-scale modelling and data
analysis Ability to work with large data sets, combining observations
and model simulations Technical expertise in computer software and
programming A proven track record in peer-reviewed publications Evidence
of creativity and capability of independent research

Applications are encouraged from dedicated candidates with excellent
writing and communication skills, good cooperation skills and ability to
work in a highly team-orientated environment.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

A PhD Scholarship position is available in the School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics (SMAS) at the University of Wollongong, to work in the area of statistical modelling for spatial environmental processes. The UOW scholarship is for three (3) years full-time, with a top-up scholarship available for outstanding candidates. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work with both Australian and international collaborators, and funding is available for conference travel.

Applications are invited from domestic and international students who are able to commence their PhD studies at the University of Wollongong in 2017. Applicants should hold, or be close to completing an Honours 1 undergraduate degree or a Masters degree in Statistics or a closely related field with high GPA. The ideal candidate will have an interest in the development of statistical methodology, and the ability to develop skills in spatial statistical modelling of extremes and exceedances. The candidate will be self-motivated, with strong research potential, good programming skills, and good oral and written communication skills.

The project is motivated by the compelling need to predict the effect of changing greenhouse gas concentrations on Earth's atmosphere for political, social and economic decision making. It aims to develop statistical tools to improve prediction of environmental exceedances (locations where the environmental process of interest exceeds a given threshold). The successful applicant will investigate innovative methods for predicting exceedances for large, non-Gaussian spatial processes, based on output from multiple related scientific models. Computationally efficient modelling techniques will be required, that effectively model the tails of the distribution when there is spatial variation in uncertainty.

Please contact Dr Sandy Burden (sburden [at] uow.edu.au) for further information, or to apply for this position. Applications are due by 1st March 2017.

Best Wishes,

Sandy Burden

This is an exciting opportunity for an environmental modelling research position, working on a cross-disciplinary research project investigating the support offered by cloud computing for the execution of potentially complex environmental models.

As you build and design your model simulations, you will be helping your computer science colleagues to make complex environmental models available for anyone, through the project's cloud computing goals (grant abstract here<http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N027736/1>)

For such a position, this is an unrivalled opportunity to have the freedom to conceive and run your own environmental science modelling experiments.

You do not need to be an expert in cloud computing or with a particular interest in the computer/code aspects of environmental science - just some experience of building and running model experiments on modern computers (e.g. HPC).

The project is in an area of huge significance, with environmental modelling being the key tool to evaluate uncertainty, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies around flood/drought, food security and the impact of climate change. You would be joining part of a growing team looking at advances in digital technology and its impact on understanding and managing the natural environment (with external funding of £3.35m). You would also be part of the Lancaster Environment Centre<http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/research/> and Lancaster University's new Data Science Institute<http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/dsi/>, benefiting from a cutting edge, interdisciplinary research environment.

Our partners include people in charge of developing CESM<http://www2.cesm.ucar.edu/> and UKESM<http://www.jwcrp.org.uk/research-activity/ukesm.asp>, providing an opportunity to influence the next generation of world-class Earth System Models, as well as key players involved in flood risk assessment modelling.

Requirements: A PhD or equivalent degree in environmental science/computer science or a closely-related field. You will have a track record of high-quality publications in areas of relevance to the project and the willingness to undertake ambitious and challenging research.

Closing date: 10 February 2017

Salary range: £26,829 to £38,183

The Centre for Atmospheric Science (CAS) at the University of Manchester, UK, has a CASE PhD project with Rolls Royce in the area of volatile particle emissions from aircraft engines. CAS has been involved with developing sampling strategies and standards for non-volatile material which will become part of the new ICAO regulation on aircraft emissions. It is expected that the regulators will begin to look at the volatile fraction, and this project will look at the formation, sampling and environmental impacts of the volatile emissions. The work is supported by Rolls Royce and there will be opportunities to work at their nation and international test facilities. For full details, please see:

PhD Studentship on " Ice microphysics from multi-frequency suites of active and passive remote sensing instruments: satellite product and numerical model validation."

Supervisors:
Dr. Alessandro Battaglia (University of Leicester, NCEO)
Dr Christine Chiu (University of Reading, NCEO)
Dr. Hartmut Boesch (University of Leicester, NCEO)

Hosting institution: Department of Physics, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK
Funding institutions: Department of Physics, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK & UK National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO).
Application deadline: January 31th 2017

Project description:
Representation of ice clouds in numerical modelling remains problematic with global average ice water paths varying by more than an order of magnitude (0.01 and 0.2 kg/m2) between different climate models. A similar spread exists amongst remote sensing satellite estimates, which makes it difficult to improve parameterization development for global models. Multi-wavelength Doppler radars&radiometers observations promise to reduce these observational uncertainties.
The Phd candidate will work at the development of a modular ice/snow microphysical retrieval (including ice water content and characteristic size) and will apply it to a gamut of observations acquired in the framework of NASA GPM (https://pmm.nasa.gov/science/ground-validation/field-campaigns) field validation campaigns (e.g. OLYMPEX, IPHEx) and of the DOE-ARM program
(https://www.arm.gov/), including observations from the mobile facility in Antarctica and from the permanent facility in Barrow, North of Alaska. The retrieved microphysical parameters will be used to build climatological records of ice microphysics at specific sites that will be exploited to validate satellite products (specifically GPM and CloudSat) and numerical models.
The project is relevant for the energy, flux and water cycle theme since it will provide new insight into cloud and precipitation cold processes. The climatological ice products will be used for an Earth System model evaluation.

Collaborative framework:
This work will take place in a broad collaborative framework in UK between the University of Leicester and the University of Reading within the research activities conducted within the UK National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO).
Eligibility:
Applicants for a studentship must have obtained, or be about to obtain, a Master 2 degree or higher in sciences (mathematics, physics), if possible specialized in remote sensing and/or meteorology/climatology, and with good skills in statistics and computer programming. Good communication skills are essential too.

The three-year studentship is expected to start at the beginning of October 2017 in phase with other UK-NERC DTP programs but an early start can also be granted.

Application procedures:
Please apply at http://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/physics/postgraduate-study/research-degrees/projects/eos/2017-ab1 by following the link ``How to apply'' on the left bar menu.

PhD studentships on aerosol effects on precipitation

Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics, Department of Physics, University of Oxford

We are looking for outstanding applicants for two fully-funded (for UK/EU applicants) PhD studentships in the Climate Processes Group<http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes> in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. Funded by a new project by the European Research Council (RECAP), the studentships will start in autumn 2017.

The overall objective of RECAP is to deliver a comprehensive and physically consistent assessment of the effect of aerosols on precipitation across scales. Within the overall project team, the PhD projects will focus on the following themes:

1) Novel observational constraints from satellites
Observational attempts to quantify aerosol effects on precipitation from satellites have suffered from: i) the difficulty of separating the covariance of retrieved aerosol and precipitation from meteorological covariability, ii) sampling biases as imagers cannot retrieve aerosol in cloudy scenes and iii) the difficulty of retrieving CCN/IN from satellite imagers. In this project we will capitalise on new modelling capabilities allowing to simulate satellite observables over large scales to guide the interpretation of satellite retrieved aerosol precipitation relationships and to quantify observational sampling biases.

2) Top-down constraints on aerosol effects on precipitation
Despite decades of intensive research, the uncertainties in our understanding of aerosol effects on precipitation remain huge. The prevailing bottom-up approach, relies on the simulation a complex chain of uncertain processes. In this project we will investigate the precipitation response to aerosol perturbations (radiative and microphysical) through idealised simulations with new seamless cloud-resolving to global climate configurations of increasing complexity, applying top-down energetic and budgetary constraints.

The PhD projects will be conducted in the Climate Processes Group in the Department of Physics, providing a stimulating research environment, in collaboration with outstanding international partners. The PhD students will also have access to a rich training programme as part of the Physical Climate Stream of the Oxford Doctoral Training Partnership in Environmental Research.

More details on this PhD project and details on the application procedures can be found on the Climate Processes jobs webpage<http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/climate-processes/jobs>. The first closing date for applications is 20 January 2017.

Please direct informal enquiries to Philip Stier (philip.stier@physics.ox.ac.uk<mailto:philip.stier@physics.ox.ac.uk>).

Job Reference : SRF15063

Hours Per week : 1.00 FTE
Contract Duration : Fixed term - 3 years with possible extension

These 4 posts form the core group of scientists in the CUNDA project, together with PI Van Leeuwen. CUNDA (Causal relations Using Nonlinear Data Assimilation) is a 2.6M€ Advanced Investigator project funded by the European Research Council ERC. The team will investigate and develop new methods to infer cause-and-effect (causality) relations, first in low-dimensional systems but pushing to high-dimensional highly nonlinear geophysical systems, in a quantitative Bayesian framework. At the same time efficient fully nonlinear data-assimilation methods for such high dimensional systems need to be developed. These two strands come together by applying the causality inference to a state-of-the-art ocean model in which 25 years of satellite and in-situ observations have been assimilated. The ocean area of interest is the ocean around South Africa, where the Indian, Atlantic, and Southern Ocean meet in a highly turbulent way. We will address some of the major questions in oceanography on the coupling between the wind-driven and thermohaline circulation, and explore causality to understand the highly nonlinear interactions in this area. The projects needs highly motivated excellent researchers with expertise in one or more of the diverse areas of causality, nonlinear data assimilation, physical oceanography and numerical modelling. A part-time programmer will also be part of the project.

Associate or Full Professor to serve as Director of the University of Rhode Island Coastal Resources Center

The Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO, http://www.gso.uri.edu/ <http://www.gso.uri.edu/> <http://www.gso.uri.edu/ <http://www.gso.uri.edu/>>) at the University
of Rhode Island is seeking applications for a tenure-track Associate or Full Professor to
serve as Director of the Coastal Resources Center (CRC, http://www.crc.uri.edu <http://www.crc.uri.edu/> <http://www.crc.uri.edu/ <http://www.crc.uri.edu/>>). This
faculty position will be an academic year appointment with an expected start date of
September, 2017.

Position Description
Challenges facing coastal communities and ecosystems are increasing rapidly as
pressures resulting from human activities continue to build (e.g. sea level rise,
unsustainable fishing practices, coastal erosion, seawater inundation). Therefore, GSO is
looking to grow our leadership in the use of science to inform coastal and marine
development, policy, and management. We seek a dynamic scholar that will lead the
CRC in efforts to provide sustainable solutions. We are looking for a bold visionary with
a passion for coastal communities and ecosystems and respect for the role that science
plays in informing management decisions. The successful candidate will be expected to
initiate, design, and obtain funding for programs that support the CRC mission. The
director will develop a long-term vision for CRC and enhance its position as a national

managers and policy-makers, and to provide education and outreach to diverse audiences
around the world.

Coastal Resources Center
Founded in 1971, the CRCâ™s mission is to promote coastal stewardship worldwide using
the best available science and management practices for the long-term economic, social
and environmental well-being of the planet. CRC is an innovator, leader, and champion
for the integration of human and socio-economic aspects into coastal and marine issues
such as climate change, fisheries and aquaculture, coastal and ocean planning, and marine
conservation. CRC has over 45 years of experience in the design and delivery of
coastal/marine ecosystem governance initiatives including more than 20 major (multiyear,
multi-million dollar) projects and hundreds of related initiatives in over 20 countries
in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States â" totaling over $150
million. For example, CRC partnered with the State of Rhode Island to create the Rhode
Island Ocean Special Area Management Plan, which is resulting in 17,000 households
receiving clean energy from the countryâ™s first offshore windfarm. CRC is also helping
the countries of Ghana, Malawi, The Gambia, and Senegal redefine their fisheries laws
and policies and suggest new ways forward by providing technical training and using an
issues-driven approach to decentralized fisheries management. CRC is an internationally

Sorry for cross-posting.

Postdoctoral Position in Ecosystem Modelling (INRA Nancy, France)

The ERANET Project FOCUSSERA studies the interactions between interactive effects of drought and tree population density on the resistance and resilience of tree growth, as well as the ecophysiological mechanisms contributing to the drought response of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and silver fir (Abies alba). It combines a large dataset from long-term experimental management stands in Germany, France and Switzerland with a mechanistic ecosystem model and a forest succession model including forest management and ecosystem services, leading to an economic risk-assessment at different spatial and temporal scales.

The postdoc will provide mortality rates for the risk-assessment model ForClim (Rasche et al. 2011) by mechanistic modelling of tree mortality with the ecosystem model MuSICA (Ogée et al. 2003) under different forest management strategies and climate change scenarios. MuSICA (Ogée et al. 2003) is among the most advanced multi-layer soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer (SVAT) models, based on ecophysiological process representations and includes, among others, species competition for a limited number of resources such as light and water. The postdoc will enhance the formulations of carbohydrate stores in MuSICA, including their isotopic compositions, as well as develop further the hydraulic formulations leading ultimately to hydraulic failure during drought.

FOCUSSERA combines researchers from the NFZ.forestnet that connects six research institutions from Zurich (Switzerland), Freiburg (Germany) and Nancy (France). The postdoc will work with the partner institutions, forming the link between the data-centred work packages and the economic risk-assessment tool. S/he will also work closely with the main developer of the ecosystem model in Bordeaux (J Ogée). MuSICA is written in Fortran. Strong programming skills are required.

The position is based at INRA Nancy (France) in the Joint Research Unit (UMR 1137) of Forest Ecology and Ecophysiology (EEF). It is for a duration of three years, starting as soon as possible. Salary level will correspond to the "Chargé de Recherches, 1ère classe" level.

Applications to Matthias Cuntz (matthias.cuntz (at) inra.fr) should include a CV, the publication list, a letter of motivation, as well as telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of possible references. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Workshop Theme
Appropriate communication, interpretation and use of climate information are critical in addressing the challenges that climate variability and change pose to the sustainable development of society. This interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary workshop will focus on contemporary issues in climate change adaptation and the development of climate services in three key sectors: water resources, food security and agriculture. These have been identified as priority sectors in the Global Framework on Climate Services (GFCS) and are central to socio-economic development and social welfare in South Africa and the UK. With uncertainties in future climate projections for South Africa and the UK there is an urgency to improve both scientific understanding and provision of timely climate information to guide development decisions over the next 10 to 15 years.
Effective and equitable long-term solutions require robust scientific knowledge from inter- and trans-disciplinary collaborations drawing on experiences across countries, climates and cultures. The workshop extends beyond climate science to enable sharing of knowledge and methods that span natural, social and applied sciences. Topics that will be addressed at the workshop include:

* Effective and efficient development and communication of climate information for use in society

* Co-development of climate services - involving producers, providers and users

* The use of climate information to enhance economic development and social welfare.
The workshop follows the Fifth International Conference on Climate Services (ICCS5) in Cape Town (28th Feb - 2nd Mar 2017). The outcomes of the ICCS5 conference will to feed into the workshop, enabling the workshop to build on issues identified by attending stakeholders.
Application and Deadline
Deadline for applications is 15th January 2017.

We will present the recent observational data and modelling studies pertaining to the variety of planetary atmospheres circulation regimes, including giant and terrestrial planets. We will also discuss the theory of planetary physical processes (e.g. circulation, dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, cloud microphysics) and review the current status of the modelling of planetary atmospheres in order to calculate observables such as light curves. This interdisciplinary school wishes to contribute to bridging the gap between Earth science, planetary science, and astrophysics.

The Physics school of Les Houches is located in the French Alps (Savoy) and has been hosting worldwide renowned training and scientific events since 1951. Lodging and food are provided on site. Ample time will be reserved for individual and joint social activities. Arrival of participants is possible after 3 pm on Sunday March 5th.

All practical information concerning reaching the location of the school and the available facilities can be found at: https://houches.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/en/

Topics that will be addressed are the following:
- What are the various circulation regimes of Earth, Solar system planets and exoplanets (theory/observation)?
- What have we learned from Earth climate dynamics that can be applied to exoplanets?
- Which properties are relevant for habitability?
- How can we use knowledge of planetary physics to better understand the Earth climate system and its response to forcings?
- How do the very diverse radiation regimes affect the circulation? What are the main feedbacks?
- How to deal with complex processes such as clouds, shocks, lightenings, hydrological cycle, weathering?
- How to construct flexible modeling tools?

Lectures will be delivered by about 20 speakers. The number of additional participants is limited to 50. The deadline to apply is January, 15th 2017, and early applicants will be given priority. The participants will be encouraged to bring over a poster for presenting their research activities. Full or partial financial support will be provided to selected participants. Details for registration are given in the school website: http://leshouchesplanets2017.zmaw.de/

Salary Information
Foundation Scientist £21,675 + competitive benefits package
Scientist £26,010 + competitive benefits package
Background
The Met Office employs world-class scientists who are among the very best in their fields. Our Science programme develops our forecasting systems for timescales from hours to decades and for spatial scales from local to global. Our world class supercomputer is giving us the opportunity to deliver a step change improvement in our capability.
In order to get the most benefit from our post-processing systems, we need ensure that we are exploiting the data as effectively as possible. Site-specific forecasts are a key part of our products to the public. We need to generate accurate, useful 'spot forecasts' for any spot in the world from large gridded datasets in a reliable and efficient manner.
Job Purpose
Over the coming years the focus will be on developing a new integrated post-processing and verification system. This system will enable us to create a consistent set of gridded and site-specific products from our complex and rapidly evolving Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) suite including exploitation of forecast data which is updated on an hourly basis. This new system will generate and manage a full set of probabilistic data to drive our core production chain.
A key part of your role will be to develop methods for efficiently creating spot forecasts for anywhere in the world from our post-processed gridded datasets. You will develop corrections for local terrain features that are not well-resolved by the NWP models and ensure that the output meets the needs of downstream users. You will also be involved in developing ways of communicating this detailed, probabilistic data in ways that are easily understandable and aid decision making.
This post will be at Foundation Scientist or Scientist level.
Job Responsibilities

* Contributing to the development of the integrated post-processing system by creating a fit-for-purpose site-extraction utility;
* Contributing to the design and implementation of effective communication of complex forecast information;
* Development of methods for accounting for sub-gridscale detail in spot forecasts;
* Liaising with verification teams in assessing the quality of spot-forecasts and ensuring forecasts are of sufficient quality to meet customer requirements.

https://staff.ucar.edu/users/alma) and Louisa Emmons (
https://staff.ucar.edu/users/emmons) at the NCAR Atmospheric Chemistry
Observations and Modeling Laboratory (https://www2.acom.ucar.edu/). The
successful candidate will investigate the sources, properties, processing,
and fate of organic aerosols (OA) using the NCAR Climate Earth System Model
(CESM). CESM will then be used to investigate the OA sources and fate under
future climate scenarios. The OA mechanism in CESM has been recently
updated (as in Hodzic et al. ACP (2016) http://www.atmos-chem-phys.
net/16/7917/2016/), and additional updates for isoprene chemistry will be
implemented (e.g. following Marais et al. (2016)
http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/16/1603/2016/). The OA simulations will be
compared to unique data from the NASA ATom project (
https://espo.nasa.gov/home/atom/content/ATom) acquired by the Jimenez Group
as well as other available aircraft and ground datasets.

A Ph.D. in atmospheric sciences, chemistry, physics, environmental
engineering, or a related discipline is required. Experience with computer
modeling in FORTRAN, in particular for regional or global models is needed.
Experience in complex data analysis using for example NCL, IDL, Python,
Igor Pro, Matlab is highly desirable. Independence, drive and collaboration
are important and will be encouraged in order to develop the candidate's
career.

Background information about the research groups and previous publications
and projects is available at the Jimenez Group (http://cires1.colorado.edu/
jimenez/), Hodzic (https://staff.ucar.edu/users/alma) and Emmons (
https://staff.ucar.edu/users/emmons) web pages. Boulder is a great place to
live (see https://vimeo.com/181645979), and it also houses the greatest
concentration of atmospheric scientists and chemists in the world, thanks
to the combined strengths of CU (e.g. http://cires1.colorado.edu/
jimenez/Analytical/atmos.html), and the NCAR (https://www2.acom.ucar.edu/)
and NOAA (http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/csd/) National Labs.

To apply, please submit an application via email to <
jose.jimenez@colorado.edu> and <alma@ucar.edu>, with a cover letter
describing your research interests, a CV, date of availability, 2-3
first-author journal papers in PDF (submitted papers can also be included),
and a list of 4-5 references who are very familiar with your research work.
The initial appointment will be for one year, with the expectation of
renewal for a second year upon satisfactory performance. The University of
