Description
GPS radio occultation (RO) observations have a number of unique characteristics that make them highly complementary to infrared and microwave passive sounders, including high vertical resolution, all-weather remote sensing, and coverage of diurnal cycle. With over ten years of continuous data record, GPS RO can now been used effectively to study the seasonal climatology as well as diurnal, intraseasonal, and interannual variabilities and trends of various atmospheric properties.
We seek a postdoctoral scholar to perform rigorous climate data analysis using GPS RO and other complementary data. Research topics can include but not limited to tropopause trend and variability, climatology of planetary boundary layer depth, and diurnal variability of water vapor.
