Office of Naval Research SAFARI Call Funded

My proposal "Multi-resolution Ensemble Assessment of Source Uncertainties in atmospheric River Evolution" to the Office of Naval Research's SAFARI call was funded as a two year project beginning in October 2024. I am acting as the PI and will be hiring a postdoctoral researcher in data assimilation and/or MPAS modeling. Please feel free to contact me to inquire about this open position. This work extends the Air Force Research Laboratory project Improving Predictions of Atmospheric Rivers and Associated Precipitation, Clouds, Winds and Visibility in Support of US Air Forece Weather-Sensitive Decisions (Co-PI) to a full ensemble-based data assimliation and forecasting framework in the MPAS-JEDI system.
