Internal Research Fellow PostDoc on FLEX, Sentinel 23 missions

2018-05-15 11:26:47| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS

Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. ESA is an equal opportunity employer, committed to achieving diversity within the workforce and creating an inclusive working environment. Applications from women are encouraged. Post Internal Research Fellow PostDoc on FLEX, Sentinel 23 missions This post is classified F2. Location ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands Our team and mission The holder of this post will report to the Campaign Section in the Earth and Mission Science Division within the Science, Applications and Climate Department of the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. In the execution of the tasks, the holder of this post will work in close cooperation with other staff of the Division and the Directorate of Earth Observation Programmes. The Earth and Mission Science Division is a dynamic RD team leading research and development activities, in partnership with European and international industry and academia, aiming at advancing science, developing future missions, novel applications, supporting industry growth and contributing to maximize the science impact of existing and future missions. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the ESA website www.esa.int Fields of activitiesresearch The partitioning of incoming radiation into plant transpiration, soil evaporation and sensible heat flux is key for the accurate representation in weather and climate models. The representation of these processes in these largescale models is still one of the largest sources of uncertainty in present and future scenarios and therefore it requires new approaches. In short, the components of radiation, surface responses and turbulent exchanges processes need to be treated with a holistic manner in order to understand and represent the landatmosphere interface. This approach emphasizes that the carbon and water cycles are very closely linked over land. Particularly relevant is how vegetation regulates the carbon dioxide assimilation and its transpiration, and the atmospheric feedbacks. This vegetation response depends on the plant stress, and the atmospheric moisture deficit, but also on radiation perturbation and surface heterogeneities. Several existing e.g. Sentinel2Sentinel3 and future missions e.g. FLEX, BIOMASS are addressing related topics. Furthermore there is a potential that High Priority Copernicus Missions HPCM e.g. LST, LBand SAR will aid in the holistic treatment of relevant processes. During summer 2018 the FLEXSense campaign is aiming at combining relevant, satellite, airborne and groundbased data in such a holistic manner. The basic objective of the campaign is to serve as a measurement and science benchmark for existing or upcoming missions with a strong focus on optical and radar remote sensing. An original aspect of the proposed work is the intensive use of airborne remote sensing products e.g. HyPlant, TASI, LBand SAR together with existing satellite data e.g. Sentinel23ab. In a first stage, together with ground truth observational data, these products will be employed to processdriven development, to constrain numerical experiments performed with a singlecolumn model and to validate the experiments. By utilizing the high spatial resolution data and frequency representative for coarser resolution will enable the candidate to determine the state of different ecosystem at the plot scale closely related to static heterogeneity, but also sudden changes on the vegetation responses. In a second stage, this remote sensing data can be assimilated to improve the assumptions and performance of the mechanistic models representing photosynthesis and stomatal aperture. Due to its very innovative concept and unique data, the full exploitation of the gathered campaign data from FLEXSense 2018 will require a dedicated effort to explore its full potential from a scientific perspective. In this context, the candidate will be involved in three main activities Perform model simulations with a state of the art singlecolumn soilvegetationatmospheretransfer model at the core sites of the campaign for at least one growing season. Carry out a dedicated research focusing on the scientific exploitation of the FLEXSense 2018 campaign data with special focus on the underlying physical processes, fostering new science results for the synergistic use of observations from existing and future missions. Support the scientific and technical supervision of science projects, carried out by external teams of experts and scientists, addressing mainly vegetation processes process understanding and characterization, enhancing models and the study of the processes and interactions between the vegetation and the lower atmosphere.
