SUMMARY:Advancing The Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) as an Earl
 y-Career Software Engineer
DESCRIPTION:Marlena Smith (NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research)\n
 \nThe Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) is an open-source software
  facility for ensemble data assimilation that combines information from nu
 merical model predictions with measurements of the Earth system to enhance
  the value of both. It has supported a diverse community of users for over
  20 years. DART allows for the use of a variety of assimilation algorithms
 , including novel methods that are especially effective for addressing bou
 nded environmental metrics such as pollutants, sea ice concentration, and 
 soil moisture. \n\nOur modular software design and generalized model inter
 face facilitates the easy use of existing and addition of new models and o
 bservations. DART utilizes the power of HPC through distributed memory and
  parallel computation with Message Passing Interface to run complex, high 
 resolution models, providing scalability on a variety of systems. \n\nMy p
 oster will detail the versatility of DART and its functionalities. It will
  describe my varied technical contributions as a software engineer, and al
 so highlight a few of my larger projects that showcase the interdisciplina
 ry nature of my role, including collaborative work with the NASA Goddard S
 pace Flight Center and the NSF NCAR High Altitude Observatory, performing 
 data assimilation with space weather models on the NASA Pleiades Supercomp
 uter.\n\n
