  Towards improved weather forecasting: the retrieval of temperature and cloud properties from IASI using new carbon dioxide spectroscopic line parameters
University of Leicester Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Dr J Harrison, Dr D Moore
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019
The Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) instruments, on board the MetOp-A and MetOp-B satellites (a third on MetOp-C should be launched in November 2018), are primarily meteorological instruments designed to provide accurate atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles with which to improve numerical weather prediction (NWP).

  Atmospheric ice nucleating particles - is there a fingerprint of past changes in polar snow and ice?
British Antarctic Survey Polar Science for Planet Earth
  Dr M Frey, Dr A Kirchgaessner
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
BACKGROUND. Cloud droplets freeze homogeneously at temperatures below -37ºC, but the presence of ice nucleating particles (INP) can induce freezing at much higher temperatures.

  Is the water use efficiency of land plants changing?
University of Leeds School of Geography
  Prof E Gloor, Dr R Brienen
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
The globe’s vegetation is closely intertwined with the global carbon and hydrological cycles, and changes in plant functioning can thus have substantial consequences for climate.
