Impacts sur le climat régional induits par l'immersion d'une zone aride : cas de Chott Jérid (sud de la Tunisie).
2017
This work aims to show the possible impacts on the regional climate that could be caused by the partial immersion ofChott Jérid located in the south of Tunisia. Climate simulations have been carried out using the Weather Research andForecasting (WRF) model to compare the present climate of the Chott area simulated over the period 1991-2011 under realconditions of land use to the climate simulated in the fictional presence of a vast artificial waterbody (or lake). Comparisonsshowed that the lake would have a particularly moderating effect on average air temperatures. The sensible heat flux wouldincrease substantially during the winter and decrease during the summer, while latent heat and moi…
Capability of a high resolution hydroclimatic modelling chain to simulate soil water deficit indices for Douglas-fir and common Beeches over Burgundy.
2016
During the 2003 drought and heat wave event, douglas-fir and common beech stands in Burgundy have been heavily affected, and presented symptoms of dieback and mortality. This event seems to be the first occurrence of expected climatic changes in the near future and questions their sustainability in Burgundy since their climate vulnerability is mainly due to the amplitude and accumulated water constraints exercised during their growing cycle. In the context of climate change and in order to provide information to forest managers who partly rely on a mapping of the climatic constraints until the end of this century, this work explores the ability of a high resolution hydroclimatic modelling c…

Pluviométrie et circulation atmosphérique simulées par le modèle régional WRF en Afrique australe : sensibilité à la physique et variabilité interne
2011
This study evaluates the capability of the regional climate model WRF to simulate Southern African rainfall and associated atmospheric circulation, particularly over South Africa, a country covered by a dense network of in situ observations. Three sets of simulations are performed at a 35km horizontal resolution during the core of the austral rainy season (December to February: DJF) with 6-hourly forcings provided by ERA40 reanalysis. The first set quantifies sensitivity of the simulated climate to the parameterizations of atmospheric convection, planetary boundary layer and microphysics. The retained case study (DJF 1993-1994: DJF94) is representative of the South African rainfall climatol…
Désagrégation dynamique des pluies de la Tunisie par le modèle climatique régional ARW/WRF.
2014
7 pages; International audience; Ce travail évalue les capacités du modèle climatique régional ARW/WRF (version 3) à reproduire les pluiessaisonnières et annuelles de la Tunisie et du bassin méditerranéen. Les simulations climatiques consistent en un ensemble dedix membres de vingt-et-un ans et sont forcées latéralement par les réanalyses européennes ERA-Interim. La descented'échelle est basée sur deux domaines emboîtés avec un premier domaine de 60 km de résolution qui couvre le bassinméditerranéen et un second domaine (résolution spatiale de 12 km de maille) centré sur la Tunisie. À l'échelle du premierdomaine, WRF reproduit bien la variabilité spatiale des cumuls annuels moyens des pluie…
Géostatistique, radio sondages et modèles numériques à aire limitée : données et méthodes croisées pour l'étude d'un événement froid en France.
2011
6 pages; International audience; Durant la nuit du 19-20 décembre 2009, un bref événement froid a provoqué des dégâts notables au sein duvignoble de Côte d’Or (France). Nous cherchons à documenter les mécanismes à l'origine de cet événement au moyend'observations (températures et radio sondages) et de simulations issues de deux modèles numériques à aire limitée(ALADIN et WRF). Une interpolation de type régression-kriging réalisée sur les températures stationnelles met en évidenceun gradient thermique est-ouest doublé d'une poche froide sur la plaine de Saône. Relevant de deux échelles distinctes, cettegéographie est associée à un flux synoptique de nord et à des inversions thermiques expliq…
