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...

EOS, Science News by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), published on the 21 July 2022 a discussion by Daniel Schertzer (École des Ponts ParisTech, ; also at Imperial College London) and Catherine Nicolis (Institut Royal Météorologique de Belgique) on the significance of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Celebrating 200 years of the presentation of Navier’s memoir on fluid motion to the Academy of Sciences (18 March 1822): Imagining the microcosm to know the macrocosm! 18 March 2022, 14:00-16:00 (CEST) Organised by Ecole des Ponts ParisTech in partnership with the GDR Navier-Stokes 2.00 of the CNRS and the Division of Non-Linear Physics of Société Française de...
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)....
March 31, 2021: kick-off of the ANR JCJC project “RW-Turb” The kick-off meeting of the ANR JCJC RW-Turb project took place on 31/03/2021. RW-Turb relies on the expertise of HM&Co in measurement and modelling across wide range of spatio-temporal scales of atmospheric turbulence and rainfall to quantify the impact of the latter on wind power...
June 2, 2020: kick-off of the project “Building for the Future, Living in the Future” in the framework of the 3rd Investment Plan for the Future. Opening by the ENPC/HM&Co movie “No limit to shared value”.
