Research, Projects and Operations
|
Operational mode: Assimilation
of soil moisture and surface variables in ARPEGE (NWP)
|
Climate research mode: ARPEGE
|
CO2 model coupling with an Interacive Vegetation option:
ISBA-Ags
|
Hydrological studies: ISBA-MODCOU
|
Participation in the Project for the Intercomparison of Land-Atmosphere Transfer
Schemes (PILPS) Project
|
Town Energy Budget model (TEB) Land Surface Scheme
|
MUREX Case study for SVAT model validation
|
Soil Moisture Assimilation: SMOS
|
Land Cover parameters from satellite
|
Coupling with the Operational Avalanche Prediction Model CROCUS: CIRSE (CROCUS-ISBA)
|
14-year coupled ISBA-MODCOU Simulation for the Rhone basin
|
Participation in
PILPS Phase2e: Arctic Model Intercomparison. The main goal
of this project is to explore how Land Surface Schemes are able to simulate the hydroligical
cycle of a high-latitude river basin.
|
Participation in Snowmip (Snow Model Intercomparison Project)
The goal of this project is to explore how snow schemes of various levels
of complexity are able to simulate snowpack evolution at four contrasting
local-scale sites.
GICC-Rhone Project: Impact of Climate Change
on the Rhone basin Hydrological Cycle
|
Organization of and participation in
the Rhone-AGG (Rhone AGGregation) Project.
The main objective
of exploring how Land Surface Scheme simulations are impacted when moving from a very fine
spatial scale (8 km) up to that of a Global Climate Model (1 degree).
|
Participation in the MOPEX project
|
Operational Application of SAFRAN-ISBA-Modcou (SIM)
|
Meteo-France is using ISBA within the
European Land Data Assimilation System
(ELDAS)
to predict Floods and Droughts
|
Participation in the Global Soil Wetness (GSWP) Project Phase 2: Atmospheric forcing will be used to
drive ISBA at a global scale for 10 years.
|
Participation in PILPS-C1: Intercomparison of Land Surface Schemes which
simulate both the water cycle and CO2
(a document describing the experiment can be obtained from the
GLASS
site)
