Offer Description

In the framework of the PRIN (Research Projects of Relevant National Interest) -WIND RISK Project (Prot. 2022NPKCLX), it is required to develop scientific research on the measurement and modeling of thunderstorm winds (i.e., downburst and gust front) aimed at the nowcast and forecast of deep convective events in the troposphere. The candidate will be asked to develop/set up an algorithm for the reconstruction of the wind field within convective thunderstorm systems starting from Doppler radar and lidar measurements using data assimilation techniques (e.g., 3Dvar), or similar/alternative methodology. The algorithm will be properly validated with ground-based anemometric measurements and tested in an operational environment (TRL 6/7).
