Postdoctoral position on sea level predictability and machine learning

The Computer Science department at the University of California (UC), Davis invites applications to research the physical ocean processes and their interactions that contribute to sea level variability on subseasonal to decadal timescales. We will apply and develop data mining and sparse data inference methodologies to sea-level data. The machine learning applied will be targeted at gaining new knowledge and harnessing a network’s potential as a universal function approximator to also learn more about emergent drivers of variability. The larger objective of this study is to improve predictions of sea level variability originating from a seasonal to multidecadal prediction system developed at GFDL (SPEAR), as well as general climate models, by providing Process Oriented Diagnostics (POD) to the MDTF framework. The PODs address both the initial value and model error components of sea level prediction uncertainty.
