Scientist - data-driven and numerical ocean modeling

About the roles Modern meteorology and oceanography requires management and analysis of enormous amounts of data, and offers great and exciting professional challenges. Since the institute was established in 1866, Norwegian meteorologists and scientists have played a key role in this development. The Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) is today an internationally leading operational forecast and research institution with expertise in operational meteorology, oceanography and climate science. The primary area of interest coincides with the national focus area, northern Europe, North Atlantic and the Arctic. The division for Ocean and Ice conducts world class research and operates 24/7 forecasting of storm surge, ocean currents, hydrography, and sea-ice on regional to coastal scales. As well as multi-decadal hindcasts and reanalyses. These models provide input to downstream services such as oil spill drift models and search-and-rescue support. The work is carried out in colla…
