atmospheric branch of the hydrological cycle, involving all aspects from evaporation to precipitation. A call for papers will be announced in April.
Pre-Application Deadline: 19 January 2016, 5:00 PM Eastern Time
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Earth System Modeling (ESM) Program seeks
preapplications for the recently launched modeling project, the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME). ACME aims to design and perform high-resolution climate simulations efficiently on Leadership Computing Facility computers in order to advance research on the coupled Earth system and to inform societal planning.
Funding opportunity DE-FOA-0001482 invites community input into ACME design and development, by soliciting applications that would develop and investigate the climate system in atmospheric chemistry, convection, ocean
biogeochemistry, tidal and estuary representations, representations of land disturbances, and improvements to particular system-coupling treatments. Potential applicants are required to submit a brief pre-application. Pre-applications are due 01/19/2016 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Final applications are due 03/14/2016 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. To apply, go to the Office of Science Funding Opportunity Announcements page.

A pilot call for proposals is now open for research in focused topics in atmospheric aerosol science. The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) and Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) programs are seeking proposals that will demonstrate integration of their capabilities in a single research project. Proposals should advance the understanding of the molecular, physical, and/or optical properties of aerosol particles that influence and control
macroscopic climate-relevant processes, such as cloud formation, radiation balance, and precipitation. Proposals should be modest in scope (no more than a few weeks of data collection and analysis), focused on projects that can start upon acceptance and be completed by September 30, 2017, and generate unique data sets that are beyond what could be generated by the use of capabilities at each facility individually. Proposals should focus on collection of samples at the surface or near surface ARM’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site in Oklahoma with subsequent analysis of those samples at EMSL. Proposals may be submitted using the EMSL User Portal from December 9, 2015, until 11:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on February 1, 2016, and will follow unique
proposal guidance and review processes. Questions regarding EMSL’s user program or specifics about this call may be directed to the EMSL User Support Office (509-371-6003, emsl@pnnl.gov).

The abstract submission deadline for the 2016 EGU meeting is just a day away! Some sessions of interest to the GEWEX community are listed below. Session CL4.11, " Land-climate interactions from models and observations: Implications from past to future climate," aims to bring together studies investigating land-climate interactions from various angles, including meteorological,
hydrological, biophysical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem perspectives. Land-climate interactions play a key role in the climate system, but are difficult to investigate due to the scarcity of relevant observations, the complexity of the underlying mechanisms, and the wide range of scales that they involve. At the same time, human activity increasingly influences these interactions through land management practices and greenhouse gas emissions. The conveners encourage contributions
investigating the connections between land states (e.g., soil moisture, soil temperature, vegetation state, surface albedo, snow or frozen soil, etc.) and various other aspects of the climate system (e.g., the water, energy and carbon cycles; persistence and memory effects; boundary-layer processes; the occurrence and impacts of climate extremes, etc.). Studies using observational (e.g., FLUXNET), diagnostic, or modeling approaches to analyze this interplay under past, present, or future
climate conditions and at scales ranging from local to global are welcome.

The Climate Change Science Institute ( CCSI) and National Center for Computational Science ( NCCS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have an opening for a senior research scientist in data integration, dissemination, and informatics (DIDI). The current DIDI mission is ensuring
that researchers addressing climate change and its effects can readily discover and use data. The successful candidate will lead DIDI research projects and staff that advance the use of data, informatics, data architectures, and computational approaches to better understand and solve climate-related challenges facing humankind. Questions about this position may be directed to Sreenivas Rangan Sukumar ( sukumarsr@ornl.gov).
Application Deadline: 16 February 2016
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has an opening in its Climate Change Science Institute
( CCSI) for a senior research scientist in climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability (IAV). The successful candidate will lead IAV projects and staff that advance the state-of-the art in the research, modeling, and analysis of climate change impacts. This includes research and modeling on the implications of climate change for human and natural systems and
infrastructure at local to national scales as well as developing methods for analyzing the indirect effects of such impacts on these systems and associated economic sectors. Questions about this position may be directed to Benjamin Preston ( prestonbl@ornl.gov).
Application Deadline: Flexible, with desired start date of March 2016
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory ( JPL) seeks a recent Ph.D. scientist with a unique background combining a foundation in Computer Science/Software Engineering with an application to Earth’s environment, preferably in terrestrial ecosystems. The position will be part of the Postdoctoral Scholars Program with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) at JPL in the Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems Group, Earth Science Section. The work will support an
exciting new decadal NASA program called the Arctic Boreal Vulnerability Experiment ( ABoVE). This project is unique within the ABoVE program in that it aims to synthesize and integrate field-collected data, linked to airborne and satellite observations, across a large suite of models to achieve the ultimate goal of uncertainty reduction. The successful applicant will build the
framework for driving and evaluating terrestrial biosphere models with ABoVE data, evaluate the improvement to models, and publish science papers on the framework and results. Candidates who have received their Ph.D. within the past five years since the date of their application are eligible. The position will remain open until filled, with a desired (but not required) start date of March 2016. Please send a letter describing how this project fits with your background, a CV,
and a list of references with contact info to: jbfisher@jpl.nasa.gov.
