Acoustic
Engineer to test the prototype of a meteorological instrument
Position: Acoustic Engineer
Project: Meteorology and Climatology at the
French Institute of Pondicherry.
Background:
The department of Ecology of the
French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP, www.ifpindia.org), situated in Pondicherry, India, is
working on disciplines as diverse as Ecology, Spatial analyses
and Climatology. It wishes to install a new meteorological
station at the IFP, and to test new meteorological instruments.
In particular, a new instrument based on two licenses (French
brevets) has been proposed to measure rainfall field on the
basis of its sounds. The present offer aims at installing and
testing the first prototype of this instrument. The IFP
meteorological station and an additional rain gauge network will
be used as a reference for the new instrument.
This work implies, in addition to the
physical installation, to carefully prepare the experimental
design and protocol to collect and analyze data, in order to
highlight specificities, advantages and limits of the proposed
instrument. As it is mainly an acoustic instrument, data
analyses would involve using a dedicated software to
characterize acoustic patterns recorded, and possibly to use new
analytical tools (such as wavelet transform for example). The
last task of this offer is to publish the work in a dedicated
scientific journal (with the help of the supervisor, the Head of
the IFP Ecology department).
Mission:
The engineer will work on several
tasks:
− Buy meteorological instruments and
associated software.
− Manage the installation of the IFP
meteorological station.
− Build the acoustic instruments, and
the associated rain gauge network.
− Collect and analyze data during the
rainy season.
− Write and publish a scientific paper
describing our findings in collaboration with the supervisor.
Skills Required:
− Acoustic knowledge.
− Signal processing (non stationary
processes).
−
Meteorology
and Climatology.
−
English
is essential.
Remuneration:
Based on work
experience and educational qualification. To be started early
July, 6 months duration. Based in Pondicherry town.
