Internship - Oceanographic Research Associate (Silver Spring, MD)
Position Description
Paid, full-time, 12-month duration
The National Ocean Service (NOS) Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) collects and distributes observations and predictions of water levels and currents to ensure safe, efficient and environmentally sound maritime commerce. Oceanographic data collected in real time and during circulation surveys by acoustic Doppler current profilers and High Frequency Surface Current Mappers (HF-SCM) require processing using computer routines. The data are processed, quality controlled, and analyzed to develop reports and predictable time-series. Project products may include maps using ARCGIS and Google Earth software, hydrodynamic models and scientific papers. Good record keeping and management of oceanographic data and metadata are key components of this project.
The intern will promote safe navigation through data quality analysis, data visualization, and maintenance of oceanographic metadata. Will develop skills in physical oceanographic data visualization, interpretation, manipulation and analysis; UNIX based computer routines for data processing and analysis; and Esri Arcgis and Google Earth software for data visualization.
Duties include processing oceanographic field data utilizing established computer-based quality control and analysis programs; creating reports and investigating discrepancies of intercomparisons (station-to-station and observations-to-predictions of time series analysis); displaying graphical data on chartlets and/or maps; and maintain metadata to populate the National PORTS database.
Required Skills
A good working knowledge and experience in one or more of the following: Unix, Fortran, spatial mapping software, and time series or geospatial analyses experience would be helpful.
Strong analytical skills and computer skills are needed. Skills in spatial mapping software or data analysis is a plus.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in oceanography, environmental science, or related science.
