1. Research Scientist
The position is located onsite at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. US Citizenship or Permanent Residency preferred to ensure timely access to NASA IT systems and NASA facilities.
Project Description:
Remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) is defined as the ratio of water-leaving radiance to the total downwelling irradiance just above water and is the key parameter for the retrieval of subsurface optical properties of water column. NASA’s heritage atmospheric compensation has been shown to generate climate-quality global Rrs over open oceans.
Required Qualifications:
• MS degree in a physical science with 1-2 years of experience in radiative transfer theory/applications and analyses of aerosol optical properties. (A PhD in an appropriate discipline can substitute for some of the experience.)
• Programming experience in at least one of the following languages: Python, C, IDL in a Linux/Unix environment.
