What is a remote atmospheric scientist?

A Remote Atmospheric Scientist analyzes weather patterns, climate trends, and atmospheric data while working from a remote location. They use computer models, satellite imagery, and forecasting tools to study atmospheric conditions and their effects on the environment. This role often involves collaborating with research teams, government agencies, or private organizations to improve weather predictions and climate models. Strong analytical skills, programming knowledge, and expertise in meteorology or atmospheric science are essential for success in this field.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a remote atmospheric scientist?

As a Remote Atmospheric Scientist, your daily tasks often include analyzing meteorological data, running climate or weather models, interpreting satellite imagery, and preparing technical reports or presentations for stakeholders. You may also attend virtual meetings with team members, collaborate on research projects, and provide expert insights to clients or other departments. The role requires a balance of independent analysis and coordinated teamwork, leveraging digital platforms to share findings and contribute to ongoing scientific research. This structure supports both depth in individual expertise and meaningful collaboration, even when working remotely.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote atmospheric scientist?

To excel as a Remote Atmospheric Scientist, a solid background in meteorology, atmospheric science, or a related field, along with experience in data analysis and modeling, is essential. Proficiency with technical tools such as Python or MATLAB, remote sensing software, and satellite data platforms is highly valued, and certifications like CCM (Certified Consulting Meteorologist) may be beneficial. Strong written and verbal communication skills, self-motivation, and the ability to collaborate virtually are key soft skills. These abilities enable effective remote research, accurate data interpretation, and productive teamwork despite geographical distance.

Job description

SAIC has an opportunity for a Research Scientist to provide technical support services in applying Machine Learning to Navy Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) development, and testing. Work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable DSRC usage policies, security requirements, and Government-furnished technical direction.

This position is a remote position.

Task 1: High-Resolution Machine Learning Weather Model Testing and NWP Reanalysis: Evaluate emerging high-resolution AI weather prediction systems (such as Atmo.ai) for Navy-relevant maritime environments, and develop a high-resolution, multi-year COAMPS-based regional weather reanalysis dataset over the Western Pacific to support model evaluation and scientific study.

Task 2: Navy Machine Learning Global Weather Model (Validation and Transition Effort): Fine-tune and transition a GraphCast-based global machine learning weather model into FNMOC operations, evaluate additional emerging ML weather models, and coordinate the development of a lightweight regional ML model to improve maritime decision-making and forecasting.

Task 3: Multiscale Predictability of Atmospheric Rivers and Air-Sea Interaction: Investigate the fundamental physical processes, air-sea fluxes, and boundary layer influences that affect the multiscale predictability of atmospheric rivers using advanced Navy prediction systems, machine learning models, and targeted field observations (e.g., dropsondes and buoys) to improve high-impact weather forecasting operational suitability of new observation sources.


 

SAIC is a premier mission integrator focused on advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world. Our robust portfolio of offerings across the defense, space, intelligence, and civilian markets includes secure high-end solutions in mission IT, enterprise IT, engineering services, and professional services.

  • Bachelors and two (2) years or more experience; Masters and 0 years related experience; PhD
  • PhD in Atmospheric Sciences or a related scientific or engineering field of study

Shall have at a minimum of 3 years of demonstrated research experience in:

  • Applying machine learning models to probabilistic weather forecasting
  • Evaluating forecast skill and systematic biases in NWP reforecasts
  • Improving decision-making under Identified regime-dependent uncertainty
  • Evaluating AI climate emulators to reproduce and forecast stratosphere-troposphere coupling
  • Programming proficiency in Python, R, and SQL
  • Must have experience with a combination of AWS, Git/GitHub, High-Performance Computing (HPC), GPU-accelerated computing, ERA5/ERA-I, ECMWF and UFS reforecast, AI-based climate/weather emulators (GraphCast, ACE2).

Desired Experience:

  • Experience publishing peer-reviewed scientific literature, software documentation, guidebooks, and/or handbooks.
  • High Performance Computing (HPC) experience.

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT:

  • Candidate required a completed T3 Security Investigation for full access to government IT systems
