HM&Co-ENPC hosted on 22/11/2023 the kick-off meeting of the DRACCAR-NEMO project which is coordinated by France Energies Marines in the framework of “France 2030”. It gathered about 25 people both on site and on line. The project aims at developing “New methods for turbulence measurements and models in offshore wind”.
Bryant McDonnell, product manager for PySWMM and principal at Hydroinformatics presented PySWMM at HM&Co during a webinar on 6/11/2023. The current state of the library, examples of use as well as plans for future developments were discussed.
The ANR PRCI Ra2DW (Radar Rainfall drop size distribution and wind) has been granted. It is a collaboration between HM&Co-ENPC lab and a team at National Taiwan University which aims at quantifying the impact of drop size distribution and wind drifts in high-resolution radar rainfall estimation for urban hydrological applications. The French PI is Auguste...
HM&Co team will present some of its activity at the “Fête de la Science 2023” on 14th October at Ecole des Ponts ParisTech. The workshop is entitled “Rainfall measurement and nowcasting : from drops to the Olympic games”. General public will discover some instruments used by researchers and operationals to measure rain drop size and...
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...
