The context MoAvaAon Gather the exper*se of different teams of IPSL laboratories for studying regional coupled process * at fine- scales (<10-20 km) and their variability, evolu*on and impacts in a context of global climate change Create a scien*fic organiza*on around key scien*fic issues but also tools for analyzing fine- scale process (modeling, instrumenta*on & field campaigns, assimila*on,...) Help coordinate the par*cipa*on of the IPSL in na*onal and interna*onal "regional projects" (database, forecas*ng tools,...) * Coupling between Earth components (atmosphere, ocean, con*nental surfaces) and processes (physical and biogeochemical) InsAtut Journées Pierre du Simon Comité Laplace de visite de l AERES Page à l IPSL 2 : 3-4 février 2014 Page 2
The context History A long tradi*on of developing and deploying sensors in field campaigns (eg FETCH, ESQUIF, ESCOMPTE, MAP...) or measurement sites (eg SIRTA) and modeling tools at mesoscale (eg CHIMERE) HyMeX AMMA HyMeX LIDAR SIRTA CHIMERE MerMeX/HyMeX MAP Created in 2010 (IPSL laboratories: LATMOS, LISA, LMD, LOCEAN, LPMAA, LSCE) Integra*on in 2014 of CEREA (energy & atmospheric pollu*on), METIS and IDES (hydrogeology), «atmosphere» group of LERMA (atmospheric electricity, con*nental surfaces) 3 InsAtut Pierre du Simon Laplace Journées Comité de visite de l AERES Page à l IPSL : 3-4 février 2014 Page 3
Tools for invesagaang fine scale coupled processes Modelling (link with Climate Modeling Center) large number of coupled compartments and processes (physical and biogeochemical), transferability to different loca*ons in the world, non- hydrosta*c model for the atmospheric module. grid nes*ng capability of both the atmospheric and oceanic components 9 collaboraave aracles (2010-2013) Drobinski et al.

Tools for invesagaang fine scale coupled processes Data fusion for regional studies (link with ESPRI)! Regional process studies need for sub- daily observaaons in all Earth compartments Need of data- base over specific regions: MulA- parameters, mula- compartments (atmosphere, ocean, conanental surfaces, biosphere), mula- sources (in- situ observaaons, satellites, reanalyses, simulaaons). Performed for HyMeX/CharMeX (Mediterranean), SIRTA reanalyses ExtracAon FormaAng Storage Data provision Meta- data Data exchange Use ExperAse InsAtut Journées Pierre du Simon Comité Laplace de visite de l AERES Page à l IPSL 5 : 3-4 février 2014 Page 5
