About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD).
The Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS), developed by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), is a comprehensive Earth system model and data assimilation system. The GMAO assimilates aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations from space-borne (e.g. MODIS, VIIRS) and ground-based (AERONET) instruments into the GEOS model for its near-real-time aerosol forecast known as the GEOS Forward Processing (GEOS-FP) system as well as in its various reanalysis systems (e.g. Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2)). Recent advances in the GEOS aerosol data assimilation capability allow for the assimilation of multi-spectral passive and active aerosol measurements. This improvement enables a more comprehensive and advanced analysis of atmospheric aerosols.
This project will focus on the integration of multi-wavelength AOD observations, ranging from the UV to visible to constrain the representation of aerosols in the NASA GEOS Earth System Model.
Activities that would be involved in this project include (but are not limited to):
Field of Science: Earth Science
