  Solar irradiance and production forecasting at day-ahead and intraday timescales based on Numerical Weather Prediction systems and statistical models. Electricity generation from solar energy relies on weather conditions (clouds, water vapor, aerosols, temperature ...) and power plant performance (technical characteristics, soiling, ...). Improving the accuracy of forecasts aims to foster renewable energy integration into electrical grids.

  Within the GLACCIOS team (Ice and Continents, Climates and Stable Isotopes), I contributed to consolidating, expanding and maintaining a global network of water vapor isotopes observation. Water stable isotopes in rain, water vapor as well as snow and ice in polar environments are a powerful tool to study current atmospheric processes (convection, origin of water, transport and mixing of humidity, continental recycling, exchanges between stratosphere and troposphere, etc.). Main… Show more Within the GLACCIOS team (Ice and Continents, Climates and Stable Isotopes), I contributed to consolidating, expanding and maintaining a global network of water vapor isotopes observation.

  Water stable isotopes are a useful tool to investigate past and present-day atmospheric water cycle. If the isotopic composition of tropical precipitation is strongly affected by convective processes at different time-scales, large uncertainties remain in the understanding of its variability due to the limited number of observation in the water vapor phase. The objectives of my PhD was 1) to monitor continuously for the first time the near-surface water vapor isotopic composition in the… Show more Water stable isotopes are a useful tool to investigate past and present-day atmospheric water cycle. If the isotopic composition of tropical precipitation is strongly affected by convective processes at different time-scales, large uncertainties remain in the understanding of its variability due to the limited number of observation in the water vapor phase. The objectives of my PhD was 1) to monitor continuously for the first time the near-surface water vapor isotopic composition in the Sahel region and 2) to study the added value of such measurements for investigating the atmospheric water cycle of the West African Monsoon. Main achievements: • Tests and validation of water vapor isotopes CRDS analyzers in laboratory • On-site setup of instruments at Institut des RadioIsotopes (IRI) in Niamey (Niger) • Monitoring of continuous observation network in collaboration with local partners • Data processing and validation of in-situ observations • Data analysis in combination with satellite data and climate model outputs • Physical modeling and interpretation • Co-supervision of master interns Show less Water stable isotopes are a useful tool to investigate past and present-day atmospheric water cycle.
