The British Antarctic Survey, based at Cambridge in the U.K., is currently seeking a physical oceanographer to undertake a three-year study aimed at furthering our understanding of the turbulent boundary layer beneath Antarctic ice shelves. This study will involve a visit to Antarctica as a member of a small team, leaving in October 2011 and returning in February 2012.

The boundary layer beneath two ice shelves that float in differing oceanographic regimes will be investigated using a range of instruments installed via a hot-water drilled hole. The appointee will assist with the data collection and be responsible for processing and analysing the field data.

The appointee will use the data to calibrate a suite of vertical mixing schemes that relate vertical heat and salt transport through the boundary layer to far field oceanographic variables, ultimately deriving parameterisations suitable for use in numerical models.
