Dear Sir or Madam, We are currently in search of support for the following project. This position is available on a permanent basis. POSITION ID 2115 ROLE FUNCTION GOME2 Level 1 Calibration Validation Support mw in Darmstadt Germany GENERAL CONDITIONS START 01 July 2014 PERIOD 2 years 2 options for extension, each option stands for 1 year LOCATION Darmstadt TYPE OF BUSINESS Science CONTRACT fulltime employment WORKING LANGUAGE English, French is considered an advantage DEADLINE 10.5.2014 MUSTHAVE SKILLS MANDATORY In addition to having a University degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline, the key person shall have a minimum of 5 years experience in the field of remote sensing product data analysis including at least 2 years of experience of UVVisible calibration and validation. Specifically the key person shall have experience in remote sensing data analysis using UVVisible satellite data calibration of level 0 and validation of level 1 satellite data products use of vector radiative transfer models the GOME2 mission and instrument writing concise and comprehensive scientific and technical reports demonstrated skills in a higher programming language working with UNIX andor Linux operating systems specification, design and coding of complex product processors testing and verification of complex data processing systems NICETOHAVE SKILLS CONSIDERED AS AN ADVANTAGE the remaining EPS missions and instruments quality control of satellite data and products operational product processing environments knowledge of scripting languages e.g. python, Matlab, IDL, bash knowledge of SQLsoftware build environments and tools e.g. make, imake, eclipse, insure source code control system, e.g. Subversion or CVS. TASKS This consultancy will primarily provide support to the calibration and validation of GOME2 level 1 data products. The main focus of the activity is the calibration and validation of the GOME2 UVVisible radiance and polarisation sensitive data, the evaluation of the longterm degradation signatures in GOME2 data and methods for generation of degradation correction factors, crosscalibration and validation activities both with instruments of a similar class and GOME2 instruments on MetopA and MetopB, and investigation of problems indicated by feedback from level 1 data users. Associated with this activity is the development of prototype software to support the analysis and supporting documentation such as algorithm specifications, test data descriptions and validation reports. The key person will be fully integrated in the Atmospheric Composition Team within the Remote Sensing and Products Division but will also be expected to interface with experts across the client as required. analysis of inflight calibration performance of the GOME2 instruments on MetopA and MetopB evaluation of the applicability of the onground characterisation key data to the inorbit situation of GOME2 including radiometric and polarisation sensitivity key data including angular dependencies analysis of the longterm degradation signatures on GOME2, including from all inflight calibration sources, sun and earthshine data evaluation of methods for generation of degradation factors crosscalibration and validation of level 1 radiance and polarisation data both with instruments of a similar class and GOME2 instruments on MetopA and MetopB development of software for the purposes of analysing the inflight calibration performance and longterm degradation performance of the GOME2 instrument investigation of problems indicated by feedback from level 1 users development of software for crosscalibration and validation activities testing and validation the algorithms and analysis procedures developed provision of support for longterm instrument monitoring and implementation and validation of the any proposed inorbit corrections within the operational processing environment interfacing with experts across the client as needed collaboration with expert groups and the wider scientific community outside as appropriate For more Details please feel free to contact Ms. Bianca Brankers Corporate Recruiter
