  Scientific experience

1991: internship at CNRM, Météo-France, Toulouse, France. Development with Jean-Francois Mahfouf of a soil humidity data assimilation system for the Peridot model. Validation on HAPEX-MOBILHY field experiment data. This data assimilation scheme has been adapted into the ARPEGE/ALADIN operational prediction system circa 1997.

1991-1993: preparation of a Toulouse University PhD in meteorology at the CNRM lab. Study of atmospheric predictability using Kalman filter techniques in a global barotropic model of the atmosphere: study of error covariance dynamics and their evolution in a data assimilation framework. manuscript

1994-1995: scientist at CNRM. Development of a global 3DVar data assimilation for the ARPEGE NWP model. Study of issues with the variable resolution model geometry. The ARPEGE 3DVar became operational at Météo-France in 1999.

1995-1997: scientist at ECMWF, Reading, England. Development (with John Derber) of a revised multivariate background error covariance model Jb, which became operational at ECMWF in 1997, and at Météo-France in 1999.

1997-2000: head of ECMWF’s Data Assimilation section. Development of the Obstat software for comparing observations with ECMWF’s IFS system. Studies of dropsonde and profiler data assimilation, of forecast sensitivity to initial conditions and observing network experiments, of the 4DVar data assimilation algorithm. Implementation (with Florence Rabier) of an extension of the 4DVar time window from 6 to 12 hours, which entered production in 2000.

2000-2008: scientist at CNRM. Leader of the AROME project for the design of a kilometric-scale numerical weather prediction system based on the Méso-NH and ALADIN model and data assimilation systems. AROME became operational at Météo-France in 2008, and is in preoperational phase at a dozen of European weather services (from the HIRLAM and ALADIN consortia), sometimes under the ’HARMONIE’ nickname.

2003-2010: head of the Numerical Weather Prediction group at CNRM, Météo-France.

2011-: scientist at CNRM on convective-scale ensemble prediction. Evaluation of multimodel ensembles in cooperation with the german (DWD) et Bristish (Met Office) meteorological institutes.
