UNSW5: Convective cloud top vertical velocity estimations over Northern Australia

August 14, 2018 5:06 pm Published by Comments Off on UNSW5: Convective cloud top vertical velocity estimations over Northern Australia

Convective vertical velocity is crucial for understanding cloud-precipitation systems, yet direct observations of convective vertical velocity are currently limited. In this project, you will estimate convective cloud top vertical velocity using Himawari-8/9 satellite data available at 2 km resolution every 10 minutes over Northern Australia since July 2015.

UNSW3: Understanding the vertical mixing of water vapour

August 14, 2018 4:49 pm Published by Comments Off on UNSW3: Understanding the vertical mixing of water vapour

In this project, we seek to utilise 40 years of observations of water vapour profiles from the global radiosonde network to improve our process level understanding of water vapour mixing. The applicant is expected to know the basics of atmospheric physics and statistics. Some knowledge of data processing tools will be an advantage.
