About the job
Overview As wildfires increasingly reshape the weather around them, NOAA needs modeling systems that can keep up. As FWI's Satellite Data Assimilation and Fire Weather Modeling Specialist supporting NSSL's Warn-on-Forecast (WoFS) initiative, you will develop and advance convective- and meso-scale atmospheric modeling systems — within the MPAS and/or WRF frameworks — that integrate satellite and in-situ observations through ensemble-based data assimilation to better predict fire behavior, smoke transport, and aerosol impacts. This is high-performance-computing science with real operational stakes: your work will help the National Weather Service better forecast how fire and atmosphere...
