26-LRC-Earth Sci

NASA’s POWER (Prediction Of Worldwide Renewable Energy Resources) Project delivers customized data parameters from NASA’s CERES mission, GEWEX Surface Radiative Budget project, and the GMAO atmospheric reanalysis assimilation projects to support renewable energy, sustainable building, and agricultural benefit areas. This role focuses on innovating data accuracy and developing new datasets for end‑users.

The responsibilities include:

• Applying innovative methods to satellite (e.g., CERES Cloud products, TEMPO) and model datasets to create higher‑resolution products and evaluate them using surface measurements and satellite data.
• Assessing spatial and temporal variability of data products.
• Collaborating with end users to develop on‑the‑fly data products for solar, wind energy, and infrastructure decision support.
• Utilizing modern technologies such as machine/deep learning, data fusion, and cloud computing for algorithm optimization.
