  • Assess longer-term performance of parallel versions of the GFS using objective methods.
  • Validate performance of new, emerging parallel versions of the GFS, using both statistical and subjective methods.
  • Work with forecasters in the NWS field and NCEP National Centers to keep them informed of global model biases and upcoming changes, and investigate global model problems that are reported.
  • Provide general support on verification of GFS output, including support of standard global forecast metrics used by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
  • Maintain an ongoing archive of global model and observations data.
  • Interact with NWS/NCEP/EMC and external partner domain scientists and engineers.
  • Adhere to DOC/NOAA/NWS Information Technology policies and procedures.

Additionally, the candidate must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder.

Requirements
  • Knowledge of the verification methods and techniques for verifying ensemble and deterministic Earth System Models (ESMs).
  • Extensive experience with working with the Python programming language in a high-performance supercomputing UNIX environment, to both calculate ESM verification metrics and create custom graphical plots to view and communicate results.
  • Knowledge of the FORTRAN computing language and graphical display programs such as GRADS, GEMPAK, MATLAB, IDL, etc.
  • Knowledge of common meteorological data formats, such as GRIB2, NetCDF, HDF, BUFR, etc.
  • Knowledge of model verification software systems, such as the Model Evaluation Tools (METplus).
  • Demonstrated knowledge with using GitHub to manage software repositories and projects.
  • Some knowledge of using web page technology and common languages (e.g., HTML, Javascript) to display plots of ESM verification data.
  • Demonstrated skill in communicating effectively with scientists of diverse backgrounds, and the ability to present results accurately and clearly in both oral and written form.
  • Ability to analyze/plot and verify model output independently.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively on complex problems.
  • Demonstrated skill in performing tasks requiring organization and attention to detail.
