The Faculty of Science and Technology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) in Ås (just south of Oslo, Norway) has a vacant PhD–position related to precipitation measurements within the field of experimental meteorology. The PhD position is for a period of 3 years, or up to 4 years if teaching and other work duties are agreed.
This PhD research project aims at the development of a more accurate precipitation measurement product in challenging weather situations.
The successful candidate is expected to participate in fieldwork at stations owned by NMBU and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and analyse own and existing measurements and compare to satellite and model data. The goal is to combine data from traditional gauges with the extra information of for example disdrometers to minimize uncertainty of precipitation measurements in challenging weather situation.
Field campaigns will mainly use the facilities of NMBU and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
