ALATNET PhD and Post-Doc Studies

The first ALATNET candidates were selected on May 30, 2000, and they will begin their work in the second half of 2000. Full coordinates of the ALATNET young researchers (both in their home service and in the ALATNET centers where they will work) can be found on here. A first report of their work will be published in the next Newsletter.

1. Gianpaolo BALSAMO : "Coupling a variational assimilation of gridpoint surface fields with a 4d variational assimilation of upperair spectral fields"

Gianpaolo is employed by the SMI - Piedmont Region in Turin (Italy). He will benefit from ALATNET funding for 16 month pre-doc stay in Toulouse (Fr), from September the 1st, 2000.

2. Christopher SMITH : "Stability analysis and precision aspects of the boundary condition formulation in the non-hydrostatic dynamics and exploration of the alternatives for discrete formulation of the vertical acceleration equation both in Eulerian and Semi-Lagrangian timemarching schemes"

On September 1, 2000, Christopher (UK Met. Office) will begin his ALATNET 12 month post-doc stay in Prague (CZ).

3. Cornel SOCI : "Sensitivity studies using a limited-area model and its adjoint for the mesoscale range"

Since July 1, 2000, Cornel is working on his subject in Toulouse (F). Thanks to ALATNET, he will spend a 13 month pre-doc stay in Toulouse and a 4 month stay in Budapest.

4. Klaus STADLBACHER : "Systematic qualitative evaluation of high-resolution non-hydrostatic model"

Next September, Klaus will leave the Central Institute for Meteorology & Geology in Vienna (Au) for the first part of his 25 month pre-doc stay in Ljubljana (Sl).

5. Jozef VIVODA : "Application of the predictor-corrector method to non-hydrostatic dynamics"

Jozef (Slovak HydroMeteorological Institute, Brastilava, SK) will arrive in Prague (CZ) for his first ALATNET stay in October (23 months for his total pre-doc ALATNET employment).
