The primary goal of CHECC is to find out if effects of climate change on the occurrence of (severe) thunderstorms in Europe can be detected in reanalyses and climate models. This is done by developing and applying statistical methods with a strong basis in physics. Tasks of the researcher will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Evaluating\nthe role of changes in synoptic scale weather patterns on severe thunderstorm\nprobability<\/li><li>Evaluating\nchanges in the variability of weather conditions supportive of severe\nthunderstorms<\/li><li>Reporting\non the research in peer-reviewed scientific journals<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ESSL\nTestbed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nESSL Testbed is a collection of one-week events, which (in non-corona times)\ntakes place in person at ESSL premises in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. There,\nforecasters and developers work together to evaluate novel products developed\nto support the forecasting and warning process. They do this by using these\nproducts based on satellite, radar, and numerical weather prediction data to\nmake forecasts in a quasi-operational setting. ESSL seeks someone to help\ndevelop and maintain the ESSL Weather Data Displayer, which is an interactive\nweb page for displaying meteorological data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nemployee needs to be a resident in or moving to Germany as this is a\nprerequisite by the funder of the CHECC project.
