PhD Position in Experimental Cloud Physics
100%, Zurich, fixed-term
print DruckenThe Atmospheric Physics group of Prof. Ulrike Lohmann at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a 3-year to 3.5-yearPhD position in Experimental Cloud Physics on Lagrangian cloud measurements with a holographic imager. Our research focuses on the role of clouds in the climate system. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the cloud microphysical processes leading to precipitation in clouds involving ice.
Project background
Field measurements in atmospheric science often measure the state of a cloud but not the rates of cloud processes, which are crucial for refining parameterization in weather and climate models. To overcome this limitation, orographic wave clouds can serve as a natural laboratory for investigating microphysical cloud processes. Orographic wave clouds (lenticularis clouds) are clouds that form when air masses flow across hills and mountains in a statically stable atmosphere. The rising motion causes vapour to condense into cloud droplets, which may freeze if temperatures are sufficiently low. Conversely, during the downward motion, the cloud dissipates as cloud droplets evaporate and/or ice crystals sublimate. The goal of this project is to develop a helium-filled balloon with zero buoyancy which follows the airflow over the mountain. Employing this balloon drifter with a holographic imager to observe changes in droplet and ice crystal size distributions, allows for Lagrangian measurements along atmospheric trajectories. By deriving cloud process rates due to diffusion, riming and aggregation from these observations, we aim to enhance our knowledge of cloud microphysics and to improve parameterizations in weather and climate models.
