Research projects

The team of the SIRTA observatory is working on the topic of urban atmosphere dynamics in the context of several cross-cutting projects within the PANAME initiative. Martial Haeffelin (IPSL) is the leading coordinator of the PANAME initiative. Simone Kotthaus is leading the urban atmosphere dynamics research at SIRTA.

PhD project of Jonnathan Cespedes (LMD/IPSL, IPP graduate school): Three dimensional variations of wind and turbulence in the Paris urban atmosphere characterised by novel Doppler lidar observations

The Paris Region PhD project is conducted under the supervision of Simone Kotthaus (IPSL) and Martial Haeffelin (IPSL), with co-supervision by Ludovic Thobois (VAISALA) and funded by a public-private partnership between Région Ile-de-France, VAISALA and Ecole polytechnique. A Scanning Doppler Lidar (Vaisala windcube 400s) was purchased with the support of DIM QI2 (a program supported by Region Ile-de-France), of OBS4CLIM (an EQUIPEX+ project supported by the PIA-3 program), and of CNRS-INSU special investment funds.
