Scientist - Satellite Sensor Science and Crosscutting Technology
2 weeks ago
Background
NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. Within NOAA, the Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), a division of NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of environmental satellite measurements. These measurements are vital for forecasting the weather, environmental monitoring, and numerous other applications. STAR achieves this through rigorous calibration and validation processes, comparing satellite data with ground truth data and independent measurements. STAR’s comprehensive approach ensures that NOAA’s satellite data is of high quality, meets user needs, and supports accurate environmental monitoring and prediction.
The sensor science and crosscutting technology theme within STAR supports research and development for NOAA’s satellite sensor payloads, ensuring data quality and preparing for future instruments. This involves developing mathematical models and algorithms to interpret satellite measurements, enhancing our understanding of Earth's systems and their impact on weather and climate. STAR facilitates the transition of satellite data and technologies from research to applications, enabling end users to make informed decisions. STAR also collects in situ observations for sensor calibration, product validation, and data fusion with satellite measurements, aiding in the development and maintenance of satellite instruments and products while mitigating risks. These efforts help develop and sustain satellite instruments and products while reducing risks.
Position Description
ERT, Inc is seeking talented individuals interested in supporting work at the Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). Multiple positions at a variety of education and experience levels will be available. Duties include the following:
