Description
About the NASA Postdoctoral Program
The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented U.S. and non-U.S. scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.
Description:
A unique feature of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model is the ability to run simulations with interactive aerosols in unique configurations designed for numerical weather prediction, seasonal prediction, and reanalysis. Analyses and forecasts produced with these configurations can provide a wealth of data to improve our understanding of aerosol interactions with other components of the Earth system on regional and global scales. Potential research proposals on this topic are welcomed in areas including:
Field of Science: Earth Science

Potential research proposals on this topic are welcomed in areas including:
- Validation of aerosol properties in GEOS using satellite, airborne, and surface-based observations
- Using GEOS reanalysis products to connect regional and/or global aerosol to climate variability
- Assessing air quality and its impact on human health
- Improving the representation of aerosols through model and parameterization updates
- Forecasting of extreme events
