The incumbent will serve as a Physical Scientist in the new Air
Resources Laboratory's (ARL) Air Quality Modeling Research and
Development Group. The group will research and develop advancements
for NOAA Eulerian air quality forecasting system and approaches for
integrating air quality capabilities with weather, climate, and
ecosystem models. The group will also incorporate its own research
and advancements from other researchers into prototype models for
future versions of the operational National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) air quality forecast system. In addition, the
group will help set overall directions for NOAA's air quality
modeling efforts. The incumbent will pursue his or her own research
activities, leading to publications and improvements for operational
forecast models. The incumbent will also participate in ARL's
development efforts associated with the transfer of new air quality
forecast model capabilities to the NWS for eventual incorporation
into operations. In addition, the incumbent will provide expertise
to address issues that arise in the operational model.
The incumbent will serve as the Director of the NOAA Air Resources
Laboratory (ARL) Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division
(ATDD). The incumbent will be responsible for planning, budgeting,
and execution of the Division's activities including the following:
Provide scientific leadership for the division's air quality
and/or dispersion programs.
Manages personnel and develop employee's leadership and
technical capabilities.
