The Laboratoire Interuniversitaire des
Systèmes Atmosphériques (LISA) is administrated both
by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and the
Universities Paris 7 and Paris 12. Its field of competence
concerns the evolution of planetary atmospheres, with major
focus on the terrestrial atmosphere. The methods used are
based on field experiments (aircraft, land based stations,
satellite…), laboratory works (photochemical smog chamber,
spectroscopy properties, experimental simulations…) and
modeling (chemical models, chemical-transport models at continental
scales). The LISA group involved in the study of air pollution and
aerosols has long-standing experience in
measurements and modeling of short lifetime species. It
has been involved in recent large scale experiments
like Expresso (Impact on the atmospheric composition of the biomass
burning emissions in West Africa) INDOEX (Indian Ocean Experiment),
ESQUIF or ESCOMPTE (Study and Sensitivity of Regional Air
Pollution) operating various instruments dedicated to the
measurements of aerosol chemical and optical properties and gaseous
key species (NOx, NOy, PAN, O3,
H2O2, CO…). This group also developed
regional and continental chemical transport models in order to
analyze and forecast air pollution events. These models are used
both by various laboratories and operational
administrations.
The LISA atmospheric spectroscopy group is strongly
involved in the MIPAS experiment and several ESA funded studies
related to MIPAS/ENVISAT have been performed. Also the group is a
member of the Expert Support Laboratory for MIPAS. LISA has also
developed an emission model for desert dust. This model is used
with success in most of the climate models dealing with the effects
of dust on climate. LISA is also working on a new biogenic COV
emissions model for mid latitudes.LISA contributes to several
European and nationally funded projects mainly focused on
tropospheric chemistry.
Jean-Marie Flaud is Research Director at CNRS. His
research interests are both in high resolution molecular
spectroscopy and development of new theoretical methods and in
atmospheric physics. In particular: he is contributing to the
atmospheric databases (HITRAN,…); he is a member of the
Science Advisory Groups of the satellite experiments MIPAS
(Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) and
SCHIAMACHY (Scanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for
Atmospheric CHartographY); he is a member of the ESL (Expert
Support Laboratory) for the MIPAS experiment. J.-M. Flaud is the
author of over 250 publications in international refereed journals
and two books on molecular properties and line parameters of water
and ozone. He is the Director of the French National Program on
Atmospheric Chemistry and the Co-organisor of the
“International Colloquium on High Resolution Molecular
Spectroscopy”. Honnors: "Prix Aime Cotton »from
the French Physical Society (1978), Fellow of the Optical Society
of America (1986), "Humbolt-Gay Lussac" award from the Humbolt
Fondation (1998), Prize “Gentner-Kastler” from the
French and German Physical Societies (2002).
Gilles Bergametti is Research Director at CNRS. He
is specialized in atmospheric chemistry measurements and modeling
on both gaseous and particulate species. He is in charge of the
atmospheric modeling group in LISA. He has published
more than 50 papers in international journals. He was member of the
European Community Science Panel on Atmospheric Composition Change
and he is President of the French committee on Ocean/Atmosphere
Sciences at INSU (Institut National des Sciences de
l’Univers/CNRS). He is also Co-PI of the Geofis team inside
the Geotrope project.
