M/F Post-doc ocean modelling

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description As part of the French-Hong Kong ANR project MOBIM (Modelling the Ocean's Breath: Improving Mesoscale Representation for Biogeochemical Cycles), the successful candidate will investigate the impact of the representation of ocean mesoscale turbulence on ocean ventilation and the oxygen and carbon cycles. They will analyse a set of global simulations performed with the NEMO model using different parameterisations of mesoscale turbulence, in order to assess their effects on the mean state and decadal variability of ocean circulation and biogeochemistry, with a particular focus on the Southern Ocean. Analyse the global NEMO simulations performed within the project, initially at 1° resolution. Compare different representations of mesoscale turbulence, in particular the GEOMETRIC parameterisation and the standard Gent–McWilliams parameterisation. Quantify their impact on ocean ventilation, dissolved oxygen and anthropogenic carbon, in terms of both mean state and variability. Implement and analyse biogeochemical diagnostics, including O₂, DIC and nutrient distributions, air–sea fluxes, chlorophyll, and ventilation of intermediate waters. Contribute to the analysis of the higher-resolution and coupled simulations planned within the project. Work closely with the French and Hong Kong teams involved in the project and contribute to the dissemination of results through scientific publications
