__________
Major Duties:
The incumbent will be responsible for analysis of the coupled ocean-
atmosphere system. Specifically, the incumbent will 1) analyze sea
surface temperature (SST) predictions in the NCEP's Climate Forecast
System (CFS) suite if model integrations, 2) participate in the
analysis of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability in
the next generation CFS experimental simulations, 3) monitor ocean
analysis in the NCEP's ongoing reanalysis efforts, 4) participate in
the development of products based on the Global Ocean Data
Assimilation System (GODAS), and analysis air-sea interaction in
observations and coupled model simulations. It is expected that
these diagnostic activities will 1) contribute to improved
understanding of climate variability, 2) lead to improved real-time
ocean monitoring and diagnostics products, and 3) lead to
new/improved extended-range forecast tools. The incumbent should
have 1) a strong background in climate variability of the coupled
ocean-atmosphere system, e.g., ENSO variability and dynamics, 2) a
familiarity with the ocean observing system, 3) extensive experience
with climate diagnostics techniques, and 4) extensive experience in
handling large data sets.
