Senior Sea Ice/Ocean Scientist with Experience on Remote Sensing, Model Diagnostics and Evaluation

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) opens a 4 year full time position for an experienced scientist to work with satellite and in-situ observations to assess the suitability of hybrid-ML/AI and end-to-end data-driven methods to replace classical (physics based) methods in the production of future reanalyses (e.g. ERA7) Most of the work is carried out in the Horizon Europe project, CHERRI, lead by European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

DMI has a task in the project to lead the activities about evaluating atmospheric reanalysis systems with a particular focus on oceans and the high latitudes, including ice sheets and sea ice.

It is expected that you will be the technical and scientific lead on these activities that include developing a system which enables easy assessment of various NWP reanalysis products and on interpreting on the results to provide feedback to the model developers in CHERRI.

DMI is a leading European developer and producer of remote sensing products, including surface temperature products for the global ocean and high latitudes, sea ice concentration and emissivity products for the Polar Oceans and you will use these products in the assessment1 …
