About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
The Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS), developed by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), is a comprehensive Earth system model and data assimilation system. The GMAO assimilates aerosol optical depth (AOD) observations from space-borne (e.g. MODIS, VIIRS) and ground-based (AERONET) instruments into the GEOS model for its near-real-time aerosol forecast known as the GEOS Forward Processing (GEOS-FP) system as well as in its various reanalysis systems (e.g. Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2)). Recent advances in the GEOS aerosol data assimilation capability allow for the assimilation of multi-spectral passive and active aerosol measurements. This improvement enables a more comprehensive and advanced analysis of atmospheric aerosols.
This project will focus on the integration of multi-wavelength AOD observations, ranging from the UV to visible to constrain the representation of aerosols in the NASA GEOS Earth System Model.
