Within CNRS, Laboratoire d’Aérologie
has 25 years of experience with techniques of in-situ measurements
of atmospheric composition with research and commercial aircraft.
LA/CNRS has coordinated the EC program MOZAIC from 1993 to 2004 and
has built links between the atmospheric research community, Airbus
and participating Airlines. LA/CNRS has contributed to about 30
peer-reviewed papers with MOZAIC measurements (12 with first
authorship). LA/CNRS has an active role in developing the
non-hydrostatic model Meso-NH, including state of the art
parameterisations of cloud physics and a tropospheric chemistry
module. In GEMS, LA/CNRS will lead the work on “Reanalysis
and Validation” in the sub-project Global Reactive Gases and
will participate to “Verification and observational data base
over Europe” in the sub-project Regional Air
Quality.
Dr. Jean-Pierre
Cammashas 15 years experience in
atmospheric science research where he specializes on dynamics of
weather systems and stratosphere-troposphere exchanges. He
participated to several international field experiments on
mid-latitude cyclones (e.g. Principal Investigator on board a NOAA
research aircraft during the Fronts and Atlantic Storm Tracks
Experiment in 1997) to investigate life cycle of tropopause-level
disturbances. He is the coordinator of the MOZAIC-III EC program
since 2002.
Dr. Valérie
Thourethas 8 years experience in
ozone climatology in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
region with in-situ MOZAIC data. She participated to several
inter-comparison exercises of MOZAIC ozone observations with either
observations from the global sounding network or global chemistry
transport model results. She is a Principal Investigator in
MOZAIC-III for ozone and carbon monoxide data.
