The Observations Department of the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium is seeking to appoint a scientist from 1 january 2006 for a four-year research project in the field of radar meteorology. The aim of the project is to improve radar precipitation estimates through an optimal exploitation of the vertical profiles of reflectivity (VPR) measured by the radar. The combined use of VPR information from multiple radars together with mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction forecast will be also investigated. The final goal is the implementation of an operational correction scheme for improving real-time radar precipitation estimates.
