Auguste Gires published a new book he co-authored with his children Nathanaël and Nikita. It corresponds to 50 scientific experiments which you can do with raw material available at home. It is entitled “50 EXPÉRIENCES SCIENTIFIQUES pour les petits physiciens du week-end” and is published by Delachaux et Niestlé. The press release can be found...
Auguste Gires was interviewed by SceauxMag, the monthly journal of the city of Sceaux. A participatory project about pictures highlighting the variability at various scales of the weather in Sceaux and how citizens cope with it is notably discussed. The full interview can be found here (in French).
On March 23rd, Angel Garcia Gago, PhD student at HM&Co, was invited to give a seminar at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) as part of the Meteorology and Geophysics Master seminars. His seminar was entitled “Space-time variability of small-scale wind fields: Simulations and transfer to the calculation of torque in wind turbines” and provided an...

Science enables to enjoy the simple beauty of nature. Here, our experimental site located on ENSG roof of the Carnot building on our campus enjoyed a nice sunset on 12 / 13 / 2022. We can notably see the disdrometers of the TARANIS platform as well as small scale highly instrumented green roofs. Picture by...
Auguste Gires defended his HDR (Habilitation à diriger des recherches) on 14 October 2022. The international jury was composed of – Vazken Andréassian, INREA – Remko Uijlenhoet, Delft University of Technology – François G. Schmitt, CNRS/Univ. Lille/ULCO – Ana Maria Tarquis Alfonso, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid – Ana Mijic, Imperial College London – Cécile Mallet,...
Aurore, a powerful autumn storm, hit the North of France during the night from Wednesday 20 to Thursday 21 October 2021. Strong winds were reported and they resulted in damages. Anemometers operated by HM&Co also measured strong winds with peak value 102 km/h at the ENPC campus and 118 km/h at the RW-Turb measurement campaign...
In mid-October, following the end of planned work on the roof of Carnot building, HM&Co re-installed three disdrometers in the framework of the TARANIS observatory. Daily quicklooks are available here. .
New devices were installed on HM&Co radar platform in late August to complement TARANIS observatory existing ones. More precisely, a 3D sonic anemometer and a mini meteorological stations were installed on offset arms attached to the radar platform. They will provide local wind and meteorological data at high resolution (100 Hz and 1 Hz respectively)....
