Postdoctoral Researcher
1 week ago
This project focuses on services and forecasts for people and infrastructure in urban environments, supporting both ECMWF and the Met Office in their drives towards better representation of urban environments within numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models.
The key contribution of this project will be evaluating urban NWP with observations, taking better advantage of high resolution thermal remote sensing), field campaign data and radiative transfer modelling.Full time, fixed term post for 5 years
Main duties and responsibilities
- Research on processes and process chains that help increasing skill in the extended NWP range, with a focus on scales at which new observations and stateofthe art numerical simulation are more directly comparable.
- Research on developing new data assimilation techniques that are capable of handling dense data, as well as increased coupling between Earth System components
- Attend, contribute to, and organise relevant project meetings.
- Report on progress and results of the research through appropriate methods, including papers for submission to scientific journals, presentation of results at conferences and workshops, etc.
- Maintain awareness of current progress in relevant research areas to ensure that the research remains at the cutting edge. Liaise with collaborators from other parts of the programme on a regular basis, including travel to visit project partners as required.
URBANE is part of the Advancing the Frontiers of Earth System Prediction (AFESP) research programme, a 15-year investment by the University of Reading, in partnership with ECMWF, Met Office and NCAS.
AFESP will deliver tackle some of far-term (1015 year) and difficult (high-risk, high-reward) research challenges in global Earth System prediction.

Reading, Reading, United Kingdom University of Reading Full timeMediterranean cyclones can lead to devastating socio-economic impacts, e.g., cyclone Daniel (2023, the deadliest in recorded history) and medicane Ianos but are far less studied and understood than cyclones tracking over the open ocean basins. One reason for these differences is the modelling challenge of including good representation of diabatic processes,...
