Description We are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate Position at NYU Courant and CDS, to work on the physics of air-sea interaction, under the supervision of Prof Laure Zanna. The position is part of the recent National Science Foundation Learning the Earth with Artificial intelligence and Physics (LEAP) Science and Technology Center (STC), https://leap.columbia.edu/, a large multi-institutional center with a goal to improve climate projections using novel artificial intelligence for better climate adaptation. Physical properties, such as momentum, heat, moisture, are exchanged at the air-sea interface and are essential for weather and climate. These exchanges -- or surface fluxes -- are determined empirically, using rather crude approximations, known as “ bulk formulae,” which relate large-scale quantities to fast and local exchanges of properties and constrained with somewhat spotty spatial observations. All...
