This group is responsible for maintaining a strategic vision for NIC operations, recommending appropriate operational and scientific investments and improved concepts for operational processes that support the long-range goals of the NIC, consistent with known customer requirements. This multi-agency fellowship program is sponsored by ONR, NOAA and NASA and is managed through the UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs. These exciting positions offer the opportunity to conduct applications-oriented research of relevance to the NIC ice-monitoring mission. The NIC has state-of-the-art computing facilities and unparalleled access to global real-time satellite data sets. In the first position, the incumbent will lead a project to rapidly transition ice products constructed from the NASA QuikSCAT satellite using emerging algorithms and resolution enhancement techniques. Working with the NIC Science team and the broader polar community, the incumbent will develop and investigate innovative sea ice products using QuikSCAT SeaWinds data and evaluate these products for possible assimilation into a coupled ice-ocean model. Also of interest is research to develop an understanding of the differences between passive microwave and scatterometer data and investigation of schemes for intelligent fusion of the two data streams. The incumbent will participate in validation of newly developed algorithms. In the second position, the incumbent will collaborate in an existing project with the Technical University of Denmark to develop, validate and transition to operations a frazil/pancake model suitable for use by the NIC in the marginal ice zone. This model is for the dynamics and thermodynamics of sea ice on scales of 20 km and 1 day and assimilates data from existing satellite sensors. Upon delivery of this model to the NIC, the incumbent will test the model an operational setting, making changes and calibrations to the model for use in areas of special interest to the NIC. The overall mission of the NIC, located just outside Washington, D.C. in Suitland, Maryland, is to provide assessments and predictions of global ice conditions based primarily on remotely sensed data. The NIC web page (http://www.natice.noaa.gov) illustrates some NICs products. Currently, satellite data are analyzed in a UNIX workstation environment. Image processing and geographic information system software are used to assemble the ice product suite. The NIC Science Unit is responsible for outlining how the NIC can improve products for both the science and operational communities and how the science community can make algorithms, models and interpretation guides for implementation at the NIC. Unique resources at the NIC include a digital archive of satellite imagery which increases at the rate of gigabytes per day. Examples of prior science/operations cooperative projects at the NIC include the development of a data fusion technique for optimizing the SSM/I sea ice product, the development of automated ice classification systems for synthetic aperture radar and the production of a multi-year ice climatology in conjunction with the National Climatic Data Center and the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The program offers up to a three-year visiting research appointment, reviewed annually. Qualified applicants will have a strong background in remote sensing, ice modeling, or ice physics research. Scientists are encouraged to apply by sending: A cover letter stating the specific name of this program; this letter should include a general statement of research interests and how these relate to the specific activities at the NIC. Curriculum Vitae with list of publications. Names and contact information of four professional references. It is the applicants responsibility to request that the reference letters be sent to UCAR/VSP by the application deadline. A one- or two- page detailed outline of proposed work to be accomplished in the one- to two- year placement at the NIC. Fellowship awards will be announced in late summer to early fall 2000; review of application materials will begin on 15 July 2000. Send application materials to: UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs P.O. Box 3000, Boulder, CO 80307-3000 USA For further information on this and other UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs, call 303-497-8649 or send e-mail to vsp@ucar.edu.
