Research engineer position at LEGOS (ALBICOCCA Project)
 

The French/Italian ALBICOCCA Projects aims to study the relationship between in situ and altimetric measurements in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, with applications for the altimeter calibration problem and coastal ocean circulation observation.

The reading in the altimetric data of the thermo-haline, coastal circulation sea surface signature needs to apply very high accuracy tidal and atmospheric loading corrections. Moreover, close to the coast, the altimetric measurements might result in degraded accuracy due to the footprint land contamination. Thus, particular cares have been taken to improve the regional hydrodynamical free surface model (Mog2D) and to develop new strategies for processing altimetric data in coastal areas.
