<p class="MsoPlainText">*Ocean Currents at the Submesoscale:
Estimation From Seismic Streamer Dynamics and Integration with
Oceanographic Models.*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The Seismic Data Acquisition and
Processing group at Schlumberger Cambridge Research together
with the Polar Oceans programme at the British Antarctic Survey
are inviting applications for a 2 year post-doctoral research
position involved in developing methods for ocean current
estimation. Schlumberger's seismic survey vessels tow several
kilometres of streamers behind them and they have developed
inverse mathematical model methods to invert the dynamic
streamer measurements (such as tension, shape, and lateral
steering forces) for local ocean current estimates at scales of
tens of metres to a few kilometres. The work will involve
reviewing and developing this theory, improving the existing
code and testing it on modelled and real data. The resulting
current models will be useful for improving streamer position
accuracy and position prediction as well as improving numerous
vessel operating efficiencies. The current information will also
be integrated with independent ancillary oceanographic data from
shipboard and satellite sources to investigate submesoscale
processes in the ocean and their parameterisation in climate
models.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Qualifications: The successful candidate
will have a Ph.D. or equivalent experience in mathematics, fluid
dynamics or physics, and preferably a knowledge of geophysical
methods. Considerable numerical mathematical and programming
skills are required as well as handling large volumes of real
data.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Duration: 2 year fixed term appointment<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Salary: Salary will be in the range of
£26,180 to £29,410 per annum. We offer a generous benefits
package including a defined salary pension scheme, free car
parking, flexible working hours and 30 days annual leave.<o:p></o:p></p>
