About This Opportunity

This NASA Postdoctoral Program fellowship focuses on integrating water isotope-enabled atmospheric circulation models with satellite observations from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) to study the hydrologic cycle. The research exploits water vapor isotope ratios (HDO/H2O) to understand moist processes during atmospheric transport. The project aims to use TES observations and atmospheric general circulation models to constrain atmospheric water budgets and establish which components are most influential to tropospheric moisture variability caused by ENSO, the Madden Julian Oscillation, and tropical cyclones. The fellowship is based at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City and offers one to three years of competitive research opportunities designed to advance NASA's missions in Earth science.
