Alice Carret Emile Guelard Ancilotti started his Ph. D. project in November 2023 at the University of Pau, under the supervision of Damien Sous, Denis Morichon (thesis directors) and Patrick Marsaleix (LEGOS) and Héloïse Michaud (SHOM). His project is on phase-resolved modelling of wave dynamics on sandy-rocky bottoms, with a realistic application to the risk […]
Dynamics of the North Balearic Front during an autumn tramontane and mistral storm: air–sea coupling processes and stratification budget diagnostic The North Balearic Front forms the southern branch of the cyclonic gyre in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Its dynamics exhibit significant seasonal variability. During autumn, the front spreads northward during the calm wind periods and […]
SIROCCO developers derived a phase-resolved wave model from an ocean circulation model SYMPHONIE for the purpose of studying wave-current effects in nearshore zones. One challenge is to adapt the circulation model to the specificities of wave physics. This mainly concerns the consideration of non-hydrostatic effects and the parametrization of wave breaking. The non-hydrostatic pressure is […]
The group SIROCCO LA was one of the winners of the “mesochallenge” launched by the mesocentre CALMIP to test the new supercomputer OLYMPE (1,365 Petaflop / s, 13464 cores of calculations, 76 TB of memory). The challenge was to use a significant portion (up to 12960 calculation cores) of the OLYMPE computing system to deal […]
