Scholarship Description: As 70% of the Earth Surface is covered by water a correct description of the exchange processes over sea is fundamental. Waves and air-sea interaction is crucial when modeling the climate system as it is the link between the dominating spheres (atmosphere and ocean). Air sea interaction is important also when modeling other processes relevant in the marine environment (off-shore wind energy, dispersion and deposition of pollutants in marine environments).
The meteorological research at Uppsala University concerning the marine atmospheric boundary layer has been ongoing for severalyears, including the work with field station at Östergarnsholm east of Gotland. The ongoing work combines experimental studies with modeling. The purpose of the project is to develop a coupled numerical model for the air-sea-wave system. The models system should consist of existing model components that needs to be improved to better describe the interaction. The project is collaboration between Uppsala University and SMHI (Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute). The project will mainly include model development, but may also include some experimental field work.

Number of award(s): 1 position is offered.

Duration of award(s):  This work is added to the 4 years of PhD studies so a PhD position is commonly 5 years.
