snow_wizard Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 It seems like there ought to be some people on here who are qualified for this. Nice to know these kinds of jobs do pop up from time to time. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

IbrChris Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 This is the first vacancy in probably ~2 years in my group. Doesn't come around too often.I know there are some mets in here, though not a lot who actively post. Anyone who feels they have the background is welcome to apply, it's not strictly dependent on a degree in meteorology (though one is definitely a plus). A background forecasting in the military for instance (often without a formal degree in meteorology) would be worthy of consideration IMO. Quote The Pacific Northwest: Where storms go to die.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 What if someone AKA DJ Droppin' were a gradient keeper? Seems that may be useful in the wind energy arena.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Send in your resume Andrew and tell us how you can make wind power forecasting great again. I predicted the February 19, 1993 snowstorm a week out when I was 8 years old... We are going to bring that kind of accuracy back!
