  • Inconsistency between Atmospheric Dynamics and temperatures during the exceptional 2006/2007 fall/winter and recent warming in Europe
    Geophysical Research Letters, 2007
    Co-Authors: Pascal Yiou, Robert Vautard, Philippe Naveau, Christophe Cassou
    Abstract:

    [1] Europe witnessed unprecedented warmth persisting throughout fall and winter 2006–2007, with only a few cold breaks. Whether this anomaly and recent warming in Europe can be linked to changes in Atmospheric Dynamics is a key question in the climate change prospective. We show that despite the fall/winter Atmospheric flow was favorable to warmth, it cannot explain alone such an exceptional anomaly. Observed temperatures remained well above those found for analogue Atmospheric circulations in other fall and winter seasons. Such an offset is also found during the last decade and culminates in 2006/2007. These observational results suggest that the main drivers of recent European warming are not changes in regional Atmospheric flow and weather regimes frequencies, contrasting with observed changes before 1994.

  • Finite-Time Blowup for the Inviscid Primitive Equations of Oceanic and Atmospheric Dynamics
    Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Slim Ibrahim, Kenji Nakanishi, Edriss S. Titi
    Abstract:

    In an earlier work we have shown the global (for all initial data and all time) well-posedness of strong solutions to the three-dimensional viscous primitive equations of large scale oceanic and Atmospheric Dynamics. In this paper we show that for certain class of initial data the corresponding smooth solutions of the inviscid (non-viscous) primitive equations, if they exist, they blow up in finite time. Specifically, we consider the three-dimensional inviscid primitive equations in a three-dimensional infinite horizontal channel, subject to periodic boundary conditions in the horizontal directions, and with no-normal flow boundary conditions on the solid, top and bottom boundaries. For certain class of initial data we reduce this system into the two-dimensional system of primitive equations in an infinite horizontal strip with the same type of boundary conditions; and then we show that for specific sub-class of initial data the corresponding smooth solutions of the reduced inviscid two-dimensional system develop singularities in finite time.

  • Toward an Improved Representation of Middle Atmospheric Dynamics Thanks to the ARISE Project
    Surveys in Geophysics, 2018
    Co-Authors: E. Blanc, L. Ceranna, A. Charlton-perez, E. Marchetti, L. G. Evers, T. Kvaerna, J. Lastovicka, Lars Eliasson, Alain Hauchecorne, N. B. Crosby
    Abstract:

    This paper reviews recent progress toward understanding the Dynamics of the middle atmosphere in the framework of the Atmospheric Dynamics Research InfraStructure in Europe (ARISE) initiative. The middle atmosphere, integrating the stratosphere and mesosphere, is a crucial region which influences tropospheric weather and climate. Enhancing the understanding of middle atmosphere Dynamics requires improved measurement of the propagation and breaking of planetary and gravity waves originating in the lowest levels of the atmosphere. Inter-comparison studies have shown large discrepancies between observations and models, especially during unresolved disturbances such as sudden stratospheric warmings for which model accuracy is poorer due to a lack of observational constraints. Correctly predicting the variability of the middle atmosphere can lead to improvements in tropospheric weather forecasts on timescales of weeks to season. The ARISE project integrates different station networks providing observations from ground to the lower thermosphere, including the infrasound system developed for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty verification, the Lidar Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change, complementary meteor radars, wind radiometers, ionospheric sounders and satellites. This paper presents several examples which show how multi-instrument observations can provide a better description of the vertical Dynamics structure of the middle atmosphere, especially during large disturbances such as gravity waves activity and stratospheric warming events. The paper then demonstrates the interest of ARISE data in data assimilation for weather forecasting and re-analyzes the determination of Dynamics evolution with climate change and the monitoring of Atmospheric extreme events which have an Atmospheric signature, such as thunderstorms or volcanic eruptions.
