Description
About the
NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented 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 NASAs 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 Earths Arctic and Antarctic regions are experiencing unprecedented changes, which will have profound effects on the global climate, society and biodiversity. Given the complexity of polar climate, a complete understanding requires a continuous effort in observation, modeling, and a thorough analysis of each component and their interactions.
This research focuses on studying the Arctic/Antarctic atmospheric processes and their interactions with the ice sheets and the oceans. Specific topics include (1) polar radiative processes; (2) properties of cloud and blowing snow over the polar regions; (3) effects of cloud and other atmospheric events, e.g., blowing snow, on polar radiation budget and surface melting; and (3) polar boundary layer processes. Research tools include radiative transfer simulations, numerical modeling and remote sensing. Both surface observations and data from NASAs satellites are used for the investigations.
