Missions
Establish and validate a regional coupled ocean modeling framework at very high spatial resolution (dx = 2 km for the ocean, dx = 6 km for the atmosphere and the waves) that will cover the Mozambique Channel and will be forced by lateral boundary conditions generated by basin-scale simulations from the PEPR BRIDGES
Conduct sensitivity studies based on simulations in which the coupling between the ocean, the atmosphere and waves will be gradually degraded (as done e.g., by Renault et al., 2019) in order to disentangle the different processes involved and to highlight the most important ones ;
Perform a future simulation based on basin-scale future simulations developped within the PEPR BRIDGES.
Activités
Research on submesoscale coupling and wave coupling
impact on the atmosphere and the cloud formation
impact on oceanic submesoscale dynamics
Compétences
Applicants should have a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, effective oral and written communication skills, and an interest air-sea interactions and numerical model- ing. Strong programming skills and running regional or global numerical models (wave, oceanic and possibly atmospheric) are also essential. Applicants should submit a brief statement of research interests and goals and a complete CV, including contact informa- tion for three references to Dr. Lionel Renault via email (lionel.renault at ird.fr). Consid- eration of applications will begin immediately
Contexte de travail
The LEGOS (Toulouse, France) has received a 2-year fuding within the framework of the French National Program PEPR Bridges (BRIDGES-AVATAR ANR Project). The goal is to carry out process studies of Atmosphere-Ocean-Wave (AOW) interactions and their impacts on the ocean and atmosphere dynamics over Mozambique Channel using AOW coupled models. As described below, LEGOS seeks one postdoctoral scholar to work on this project.
