Meteorologist, Physicist or Engineer - Experimental Boundary-Layer Meteorology and Turbulence (Tübingen),Germany

The Environmental-Physics group at the Centre for Applied Geo-Science, University of Tübingen, Germany, studies turbulent atmospheric flows using automatically operating unmanned airborne vehicles (UAV) and numerical models. Our main interests are the turbulent energy and momentum exchange between the heterogeneous earth surface and the lower atmosphere, the water cycle, and the interaction of turbulent flows with aircraft foils and ground-based structures like wind converters. We develop meteorological sensors (wind vector, humidity, temperature, etc.) for research UAV and data-analysis software for airborne measurements. Currently, we are looking for a
