Job description

Clouds and water vapour are very important elements of the climate system. The development of diverse remote sensing instrumentation and measurement methods to retrieve a complete view of the profile of atmospheric properties has met with considerable success. The state of the art in ground-based remote sensing is, however, still limited in its ability to quantify (or even handle) the presence of drizzle, an important element of the process determining cloud lifetime and not well taken into account in climate models.
In this project we will develop a multi-sensor optimal estimation-based framework for estimating profiles of cloud optical and microphysical properties, including the quantification of drizzle. The method will be developed and tested using a combination of simulators and real cloud data from the CESAR/Cabauw multi-instrument measurement site. In addition, satellite data will be used in the evaluation of the cloud property output of the algorithm.

Requirements

Applicants must have a PhD in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Meteorology, or another appropriate field. Prior experience in the fields of atmospheric remote sensing and/or data assimilation is desirable. The candidate must be able to verbally communicate and write in English at an appropriate level.

Conditions of employment

TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home (with a contract of two years or longer), and the option of assembling a customised compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA'). Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
