Stockholm, Sweden
Description
This project aims at identifying links between the jet stream variability and the atmospheric system's attractor. Low-frequency variability in midlatitude weather is a topic of intensive research because of its importance in understanding and improving predictability in weather and climate. It will involve using simplified quasi-geostrophic models, for example barotropic and baroclinic models on the sphere, as well as comprehensive general circulation models and reanalysis data.
Requirements
Applicants must have completed a university degree or university studies of 240 ECTS points (corresponding to 4 years of study), of which at least 60 points at the master level. At least 90 points must be in one of the subjects meteorology, oceanography, physics or chemistry, at least 15 points must be in mathematics, and an independent project work corresponding to at least 15 points must have been completed. The requirements can also be met by acquiring the corresponding knowledge in some other way, in Sweden or abroad.
More information and applications
