Scirocco Research Grants 2015

 

The SCatterometer InstRument Competence Centre, SCIRoCCo, has been established by the European Space Agency  (ESA) in  support of the exploitation activities for the ERS-2 Scatterometer mission. SCIRoCCo aims at becoming a reference center for the international meteorological agency, meteorological operations centers, and the research and educational community worldwide for the exploitation of the ERS Scatterometer mission data set and of the present and future C-band scatterometer mission data sets.

 

Within the SCIRoCCo project, a number of Research Grants at Master, Post-graduate and PhD level are available to carry out original research based primarily on the exploitation of ERS Scatterometer data, on the intercalibration between ESCAT (the ERS Scatterometer), ASCAT (on MetOp-A) and comparisons between models and retrievals. Research will be carried out at one of the SCIRoCCo Host Institutions: KNMI (The Netherlands), RMA (Belgium), TUWien (Austria), SERCO/University of Rome (Italy) and may involve collaboration with multiple SCIRoCCo partners. Research projects will start preferentially either before Summer 2015, in September or in January 2016, depending on negotiation, according to needs and availabilities.
