WW3 model reanalysis on SWIO (south-western indian ocean) area at 0.5 degree of resolution
-
This dataset encompasses model outputs generated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) regional climate model. A high-resolution (~1km) downscaling simulation was performed over two tropical islands, Reunion and Mauritius, situated in the South-West Indian Ocean (SWIO), with initial and boundary conditions provided by the ERA5 reanalysis with a global resolution of 0.25° × 0.25°. The simulation used three nested domains sequentially configured with spatial resolutions of 9, 3, and 1km, respectively, with a downscaling ratio of 3. The physical configurations of this simulation were determined through previous modeling studies and sensitivity tests. The published simulation data currently covers a period of 10 years, starting from 1991 (with the possibility to be extended to 30 years). Over 60 output variables were selected for publication with open access, including those related to the intermittent energy resources (e.g., surface solar radiation and its direct/diffuse components, wind speed/direction at multiple vertical levels, and precipitation, of interest for the run-off-river hydropower), as well as the widely used climatic/meteorological variables (e.g., temperature, pressure, humidity, etc.) at a temporal resolution varying from a day up to 30 minutes. All the data are available through an open-access data server, where an intelligent algorithm is applied to simplify the download process for data users. For the first time, a long-term, high-resolution climate/meteorological dataset covering Reunion and Mauritius has been simulated and published as open-access data, yielding substantial benefits to studies on climate modeling, weather forecasting, and even those related to climate change in the SWIO region. In particular, this dataset will enable a better understanding of the temporal and spatial characteristics of intermittent climate-related energy resources, consequently facilitating their implementation towards a green and low-carbon future.

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 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.

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).
