Job description
At the Department of Geoscience & Remote Sensing at TU Delft, we are involved in a large national infrastructure project (known as the “Ruisdael observatory”) aimed at improving the observation and modelling of the atmosphere in The Netherlands. This important national infrastructure is closely linked to the European Aerosol, Clouds and Trace gases Research InfraStructure (ACTRIS) .
To focus on cloud observation in Europe, the Ruisdael team at TU-Delft is looking for a scientist to manage and coordinate the activities related to this objective and ensure a smooth exchange of knowledge between Ruisdael and the rest of the ACTRIS community. An important aspect of the position is the quality control and quality assurance of the cloud observations in Europe.
Responsibilities:
- Management and coordination of CCRES-NL activities (CCRES being the Centre for Cloud Remote Sensing within ACTRIS).
- Responsible for implementing standards for data quality (labelling process) at the Cabauw atmospheric super site, needed to become a European National Facility.
- Quality control and quality assurance of the cloud observations (including periodic reporting to CCRES).
- Coordination of cloud radar calibration and measurement procedures.
- Organizing cloud radar training and consultancy for setting up new observation sites.
- Contribute to new scientific and technical developments.
