  • Since 2012, 3 lidars from the Atmospheric Physics Observatory of La Réunion (OPAR) have been performing aerosol profile measurements at the Maïdo observatory site, located at 2160 meters to the west of the island of La Réunion. These profiles are obtained at several wavelengths, 355nm and 532nm, and there are also depolarized channels at 532nm. The data from these 3 lidars are processed in two stages: initially, the data are manually cleaned of disturbed profiles, either by atmospheric effects, such as the passage of clouds, or by electronic effects like noise. They are then summed over the night. This is the L1b level, and the data are available in the Matlab format (.mat). Subsequently, the data are processed to convert from a profile of received photon number to a profile of aerosol extinction and scattering. The methodology used is based on the Klett calculation at one wavelength. This is the L2b level, and the data are available in the NetCDF format (.nc) with the NDACC convention in the choice of variable names. Therefore, the data are distributed across 6 directories, 2 levels of processing for each lidar. The raw data from the instrument (called L0) are in a proprietary format, the Licel format, and are not accessible in open access, only via FTP with restricted access.

  • The ressource describes the dataset obtained by deploying the GAMIC GMWR-25-DP RADAR in Toamasina (Tamatave) in Madagascar.

  • The station is managed by the Observatoire de la Zone Critique de la Réunion (OZC-R) from Observatoire des Sciences de l'Univers de La Réunion (OSU-Réunion, Université de La Réunion). This is a forest station located at 1285m asl in the Reunion National Park. Rainwater is monthly collected (PALMEX rain collector) for δ18O and δ2H water isotopes analysis from 2016. Analyses are carried out at the Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris (PARI analytical platform) and within the IR-OZCAR network. The major ions rainfall composition is also studied. The station also measures several meteorological variables outside the canopy (precipitation, atmospheric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, global and photosynthetically active radiation) but also humidity linked to clouds and fog, as well as ground temperature.

    The beach profile is a sectional representation of its topography. The beach topography and its dynamics (by beach profile or transect approach) is illustrated by the acquisition of altimetry data along a fixed profile. 42 profiles are regularly monitored on the reef coast of Reunion Island: 2 profiles per year before the swell seasons of summer and austral winter; the impact of the events of strong swells (cyclones, southern swells) is systematically measured on the labeled Dynalit sites and more sporadically on the other sites. The methodology deployed locally since 2012.

    The ERORUN-STAFOR Observatory Data Management Plan (DMP) is related to the French network of critical zone observatories (OZCAR) located in an insular tropical and volcanic context, integrating a “Tropical Mountain Cloud Forest '' (TMCF). This collaborative observatory is located in the northern part of Réunion island (Indian Ocean) within the watershed of Rivière des Pluies (45.0 km²) which hosts the TMCF of Plaines des Fougères, one of the best preserved natural habitats in Réunion Island. Since 2015, the ERORUN-STAFOR monitoring in collaboration with local partners collected a multidisciplinary dataset with a constant improvement of the instrumentation over time. At the watershed scale and in its vicinity, the ERORUN-STAFOR Observatory includes 10 measurement stations covering the upstream, midstream and downstream part of the watershed. The stations record a total of 48 different variables through continuous (sensors) or periodic (sampling) monitoring. The dataset consists of continuous time series variables related to (i) meteorology, including precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, net radiation, atmospheric pressure, cloud water flux, irradiance, leaf wetness and soil temperature, (ii) hydrology, including water level and temperature, discharge and electrical conductivity of stream, (ii) hydrogeology, including groundwater level, water temperature and electrical conductivity in two piezometers and one groundwater gallery completed by soil moisture measurements under the canopy. The database is completed by periodic time series variables related to (iv) hydrogeochemistry, including field parameters and water analysis results. The periodic sampling survey provides chemical and isotopic compositions of rainfall, groundwater, and stream water at different locations of this watershed. The ERORUN-STAFOR monitoring database extends November 2014 to April 2022 with an acquisition frequency from 10 min to hourly for the sensor variables and from weekly to monthly frequency for the sampling. Despite the frequent maintenance of the monitoring sites, several data gaps exist due to the remote location of some sites and instrument destruction by extreme events such as cyclones. This observatory is a unique research site in an insular volcanic tropical environment offering three windows of observation for the study of critical zone processes through upstream-midstream-downstream measurements sites. This high-resolution database is valuable to assess the response of volcanic tropical watersheds and aquifers at both event and long-term scales (i.e. global change). It will also allow various progress in understanding the significant role of the TMCF in the recharge processes, the hydrogeological conceptual model of volcanic islands, the watershed hydro sedimentary responses to extreme climatic events and their respective evolution under changing climatic conditions.

    ReefTEMPS is a network created by the IRD, initially covering some twenty territories and island states in the South, South-West and West Pacific. ReefTEMPS-OI is the Indian Ocean version. The network uses temperature, pressure, salinity and other coastal observables to monitor climate change and its effects on coral reefs and their resources over the long term. ReefTEMPS is part of the French national federative Research Infrastructure for coastal ocean and seashore observations named IR I-LICO, accredited as a National Observation Service (SNO) by the CNRS-INSU Ocean-Atmosphere Commission. ReefTEMPS is operated by ENTROPIE since 2019. Previously, it was created and led by GOPS (a consortium of research observatories in the South Pacific) during the period 2010-2017, then coordinated by UMR LEGOS in 2018. ReefTEMPS-OI, its Indian Ocean version, is operated by OSU-Réunion since 2020.

  • This dataset provides the processed ECC ozonesonde radiosoundings performed for 5 consecutive nights at the Maïdo Observatory (21.08°S, 55.38°E) on Réunion Island during the period 20-25 January 2022 following the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano on 15 January. Réunion Island is in the Southwest Indian Ocean and holds one of the very few atmospheric observatories in the subtropical Southern Hemisphere.

    Les ondes VLF émisent par des transmetteurs sur Terre, se propagent dans le guide d'onde formé par l'ionosphère et la Terre. En cas de changement de conductivité des limites de ce guide d'onde, les signaux reçus sont modifiés. C'est ce qu'il peut arriver par un forçage d'origine solaire (éruptions) ou liés à des zones orageuses (TLE). L'analyse de ces signaux en amplitude et phase permet de remonter à la perturbation de la densité électronique. Celle-ci induit notamment une augmentation de l'absorption HF. Outre les études sur la réponse de l'ionosphère à un forçcage (solaire ou TLE), le projet a une dimension sociétal en fournissant des alertes temps réel sur l'occurrence d'une éruption solaire. L'instrument est composé de deux "boucles" (plutôt des triangles) magnétiques orientées NS et EW. La base de l'antenne mesure 4.57m, la hauteur 2.80m, soit une surface totale de 5.22m2. Avec 11 tours de fil de cuivre on obtient une sensibilité de 3.57E-13 T/rt-Hz; Les "boucles" sont connectées à un pré-ampli situé au pied du mât. Ce pré-amp contient également le système de calibration. Un câble apportant l'électricité et ramenant les signaux part du pré-amp, courre dans les chemins de câble et arrive au "line Receiver", un boite électronique jaune située près du PC de contrôle. Cette électronique contient un ADC et reçoit le timing du GPS. L'ensemble des signaux est ensuite conduit vers le PC de contrôle qui effectue la démodulation des signaux MSK (méthode de transmission des données VLF) et produit les données NarrowBand et BroadBand. L'instrument fonctionne en continue 24/365. Le PC redémarre seul en cas de coupure d'électricité. Pour vérifier que l'instrument est bien en fonctionnement, il suffit de regarder la date et l'heure du spectrogramme affiché (rafraichissement toutes les minutes).
