PhD student in data assimilation of the chemical composition of the atmosphere
2020-10-14 13:11:53| Space-careers.com Jobs RSS
SRONs mission is to bring about breakthroughs in international space research. Therefore, the institute develops pioneering technology and advanced space instruments, and uses them to pursue fundamental astrophysical, Earth science, and exoplanetary research. As national expertise institute SRON gives counsel to the Dutch government and coordinates national contributions to international space missions. SRON stimulates the implementation of space science in our society. Our Earth Science Group has a vacancy for PhDstudent Vacancy number 1646 in Data assimilation of the chemical composition of the atmosphere. Are you interested in applying the knowledge and skills that you acquired in your studies to an exciting scientific question in climate research? Please apply at SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research! Project outline In this project, you will investigate the photochemical cleansing efficiency of the atmosphere that controls the mean residence time of air pollutants. The question is if human activities that altered the chemical composition of the atmosphere have influenced its cleansing capacity. The Dutch TROPOMI satellite instrument provides a wealth of new data containing pieces of the key to solve this question. You will work with data assimilation techniques applied to a global model of the atmosphere to extract this information from the data. This project is an international collaboration dedicated to solving this question, between researchers at SRON, KNMI and VU Amsterdam, as well as colleagues at JamsTeC Japan and JPL USA, which you will take part in. Tasks Modify an existing global chemical data assimilation system for the use of TROPOMI data, supported by experts on this system as well as satellite data experts. Learn how to apply this system to new data, and test its performance using independent measurements collected from surface and aircraft measurements, as well as other satellite instruments. Investigate variations in parameters, most notably the hydroxyl radical OH, that determines the atmospheric cleansing capacity. Compare modelderived predictions for OH with other independent methods, e.g. based on methyl chloroform. Investigate how changes in OH may have influenced the global growth rate of the greenhouse gas methane. You will present your results at scientific conferences and publish in scientific journals. Requirements For this project we are looking for an ambitious and highly motivated Ph.D. student with the following qualifications A M.Sc. degree in physics, applied mathematics, or Earth Sciences Extensive experience with computer programming and statistical methods in research projects Experience in scientific writing and presenting A fluent command of the English language Ability to work both independently and as part of a team Employment conditions Employment of this fulltime position is by NWOI the Institutes organization of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and will be for a period of 18 months. This will be extended to 4 years when your performance evaluation after 9 months is satisfactory. The salary will be in accordance with the salary scales of NWOI, starting at 2.407, in the first year and rising to 3.085, in the fourth year of employment. NWOI has good secondary employment conditions such as An end of year bonus of 8,33 of the gross yearly salary A holiday allowance of 8 of the gross yearly salary 42 days of vacation leave a year on fulltime basis An excellent pension scheme Options for additional personal development Excellent facilities for parental leave. The PhDstudent will be based for 50 of herhis time at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, and for 50 at KNMI in de Bilt. Information and application More information about SRON can be found at www.sron.nl. For further information about the position, please contact prof. dr. Sander Houweling s.houwelingsron.nl, dr. Henk Eskes henk.eskesknmi.nl, or prof.dr. Ilse Aben i.abensron.nl. If you wish to apply you can send a motivation letter with CV and the names and addresses of references incl. phone and email via mail to jobssron.nl. Please state the vacancy number SRON 1646 in the subject of your mail. Applications will be accepted until 11 November 2020. Other In the event of equal suitability, preference will be given to female applicants. No commercial propositions please. Online screening may be part of the selection procedure.

DDoS attack trends in the network layer during the COVID-19 crisis
2020-10-12 19:12:38| The Webmail Blog
DDoS attack trends in the network layer during the COVID-19 crisis nellmarie.colman Mon, 10/12/2020 - 12:12 During the new era of lockdowns and shelter in place, Internet traffic has exploded, with increases of up to 50%. And cyber criminals have responded by stepping up their DDoS attacks, focusing on shorter, smaller bitrate attacks and a substantial increase in maximum attack size. Many of these attacks target the network layer in the OSI model or the network-to-network connections in which packets of data are sent back and forth using certain protocols. What this means for you is that, as the attacker sends large volumes of junk network traffic your way, your site can become slow or even inaccessible preventing users from accessing your site. This article can help you better understand DDoS attack trends in the network layer, so your security teams can be better prepared to thwart these evolving threats. Wave of short, small attacks These days, almost anyone can launch a DDoS attack. For just around a dollar a minute, a non-technical criminal can easily wreak havoc on your business with a short, small DDoS attack. As the bar to entry lowers, more participants get into the game. This approach appears to be gaining traction. In Q1 2020, most of the attacks observed by Cloudflare were under 10 Gbps, with 64% of these coming in at less than 500Mbps. And 13.5% of all DDoS attacks throughout January to March 2020 were generated using free, publicly available Mirai code variations. Despite their small size, 10 Gbps attacks are quite effective against underprotected Internet properties. These hit-and-run attacks can easily enable criminals to extort a ransom in exchange for allowing a website to stay open for business. Less persistence, more variety While smaller attacks are on the rise, DDoS attack persistence appears to be falling. For instance, during the holidays (Q4 2019), attackers launched up to 523 DDoS attacks in one day against a single Cloudflare IP. Then, with the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, the total volume of attacks increased. However, the average persistence rate dropped as low as 2.2 attacks per IP address per day, with a maximum of 311 attacks on a single IP. These numbers represent a 40% drop in attack persistence compared to the 2019 holiday quarter. Are attackers getting lazy? More likely there are more total attacks including smaller, shorter ones which may dilute the persistence rate. Rolling out the big guns Despite the high volume of smaller attacks and waning persistence, larger attacks are by no means fading away. For instance, in March 2020, both attack volume and size ramped up considerably. There were 55% more attacks observed in the second half of the month versus the first half. Additionally, 94% of the attacks were as large as 300-400 Gbps in the month of March. Other data shows that the maximum duration of DDoS attacks increased up to 264% in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019. This is especially troubling given that a DDoS attack can cost you up to $20,000-40,000 per hour. Threat mitigation requires agile, distributed & interconnected security Given the evolving threat landscape, DDoS prevention security must adapt to and anticipate all of these changes. Based on the trends reviewed above, a three-pronged defense works brilliantly: Agility: The time to mitigate network layer DDoS attacks should be 10 seconds or less. Detection should be fast and automatic. This mitigates the small, short attack segment. Distribution: Distributed security architecture employs hundreds of data centers to provide full DDoS mitigation capabilities. This thwarts high-powered localized attacks, as every node is capable of repelling an attack. Interconnectivity: Massive interconnected network capacity is the most effective way to nullify large distributed volumetric attacks. A globally distributed architecture allows for attack mitigation, of any size, close to the source.
