Climate Modeling Expert (WRF / RegCM) Required – Large-Scale Desert Climate Impact Simulation -- 2
Budget: $3,000 – $5,000 USD
We are seeking a highly qualified climate modeling expert with a strong scientific background in atmospheric sciences, regional climate modeling, or environmental engineering.
Important:
This project requires proven prior experience in regional climate simulations.
All applicants must provide:
Examples of previous similar climate modeling work
Published papers (if available)
Technical reports or project samples
Full CV (Curriculum Vitae)
Applications without demonstrated relevant experience will not be considered.
Project Objective:
We aim to conduct a high-resolution regional climate simulation over a vast desert region (country-scale domain) to assess the climatic impacts of restoring or constructing large inland water bodies (sabkhas, paleo-lakes, surface reservoirs).
The study will evaluate the potential impacts on:
Surface air temperature
Relative humidity
Precipitation patterns
Land–sea breeze circulation
Convective activity and atmospheric instability
Surface energy fluxes and evaporation
Regional pressure systems and circulation dynamics
Soil moisture response
Technical Requirements:
Applicants must demonstrate strong expertise in:
Running and configuring Regional Climate Models such as:
WRF
RegCM
Or equivalent high-resolution RCMs
Working with reanalysis datasets (e.g., ERA5)
Modifying Land Use / Land Cover (LULC) datasets to introduce hypothetical water bodies
Running comparative simulations:
Baseline scenario (current conditions)
Modified scenario (with water bodies)
Performing difference analysis and statistical validation
Physics parameterization configuration:
Microphysics schemes
Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL)
Cumulus parameterization
Surface layer and land surface models
Producing high-resolution outputs (target resolution 1–5 km if feasible)
Study Scope:
Large desert domain (country-scale)
Addition of extensive inland water surfaces (tens of thousands of km²)
Focus on dry summer season (120–150 days)
Possibility of extending to full annual simulations
HPC or cloud computing resources required
Deliverables:
Model configuration documentation
NetCDF output files
GIS ready maps
Time-series analysis
Comparative statistical analysis (Before vs After)
Scientific technical report suitable for academic publication
Collaboration Nature:
This is a serious scientific project with potential for long term collaboration and academic publication.
