Désagrégation dynamique haute résolution spatiale du climat du Centre Est de la France par le modèle climatique régional ARW/WRF
2010
Ce travail analyse les capacités du modèle climatique régional ARW/WRF à reproduire les principaux traits du climat (températures de surface et précipitations) du Centre Est de la France à des résolutions spatiales fines, et pour les années 1991 et 2003. La simulation utilise pour la désagrégation du signal une descente d'échelle basée sur trois domaines emboîtés de maille variable de 120 km, 30 km et 7,5 km. Les conditions latérales sont imposées toutes les 6 heures par les ré- analyses ERA-Interim. Les températures et les précipitations observées par le réseau de mesures de Météo-France Bourgogne sont utilisées pour l'évaluation. Les simulations reproduisent bien la température (R²~0,95 e…
Instability of space-time rainfall regimes in the payment of basin Mono-Couffo and its impact on the flow of 1961 to 2000
2009
International audience; The catchment area of Mono-Couffo complex, is located in the Gulf of Benin, in the southern part of the Republics of Benin and Togo, at the continent-ocean interface. It lies about 526 km from north to south between 06 ° 16 'and 09 ° 20'N and covers an area of 27 870 km ². The analysis of the variation in rainfall totals for the period 1961-2000 in the basin of Mono-Couffo, between Benin and Togo has been a slight decrease in precipitation. This study aims to identify possible changes in the precipitation regime of the basin and their potential impact in the hydrological functioning of river Couffo. The data used are the monthly precipitation of a network of 25 stati…
The role of the eastern Mediterranean sea on the WAM in 2003 using the WRF regional model
2009
International audience; There is empirical evidence that sea surface temperatures (SST) exert a prominent role on the WAM, particularly over the Atlantic ocean where they can act to modify the location of the ITCZ and moisture advection. However, the role of the Mediterranean sea has been studied more recently. Rowell (2003) has first shown that the basin could play a significant role on the monsoon in modifying the moisture transport and convergence of humidity. Using GCM simulations, he demonstrated that warmer (colder) than normal SST on the Mediterranean sea is associated with a more/less intense monsoon in the Sahel region. A simple composite analysis between the SST and the Sahel July…
Weather Regimes in the Euro-Atlantic and Mediterranean sector and relationship with West African rainfall over the period 1989-2008 from a Self-Organ…
2011
International audience; Weather Regimes (WR) have been defined over the Euro-Mediterranean region [60°W-60°E; 15°N-70°N] from May to October season using the daily Sea Level Pressure, 700 hPa geopotential height and specific humidity from ERA-interim over 1989-2008 period. Computations are based on a neural network lassification technique referred to as Self Organizing Maps and the WR produced can be used by the community for comparison with other periods, projection onto model outputs, seasonal prediction or teleconnection studies. The article particularly examines the relationship between WR and West African (WA) rainfall and our results suggest that changes in particular WR frequencies c…
