Abstract

Les ouragans en mer Méditerranée sont des événements météorologiques extrêmes qui influencent les propriétés physico-chimiques de la colonne d’eau. Ce travail s’est concentré sur trois variables : la température, la salinité et la concentration en oxygène dissous pour le Medicane “Apollo” qui a eu lieu fin octobre 2021. Leur évolution est mesurée à l’aide d’appareils in situ (flotteurs Argo et bouées dérivantes) et par satellites. Les données satellites ont subi une reconstruction à l’aide du logiciel DINEOF, qui permet de combler des données manquantes dues à la présence de nuages par exemple. De manière générale, la température et la salinité diminuent dans la couche de mélange lors du passage du Medicane. La concentration en oxygène dissous augmente dans la couche de mélange tout comme la profondeur du maximum de concentration en oxygène dissous. Les principales raisons de ces évolutions sont les échanges enthalpiques et l’évaporation à la surface, les importantes précipitations et les vents engendrées par le Medicane, ainsi que les courants marins et le rayonnement solaire à cette période de l’année. La diminution de la température liée au passage du cyclone augmente également la dissolution de l’oxygène. Une comparaison entre les données in situ et satellitaire montre la complémentarité des deux types de mesures.

Abstract

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are discrete warm-water anomalies events occurring in every ocean around the globe, in both coastal and open ocean, having major impacts on ecosystems, fisheries and aquaculture. Although processes leading to MHWs formation are becoming more and more studied since the beginning of the 2010s, the way they interact together to trigger MHWs remains not fully understood. Nevertheless, their link to human-induced global warming tends to be certain. The southern part of Chile (41°5’S - 56°S) is characterized by fjord ecosystems already experiencing global warming consequences, whether large-scale or local climate modifications. However, to the best of our knowledge, MHWs occurrence in Southern Chile has never been subject to studies, despite the fjord ecosystem’s vulnerability to climate warming. Therefore, we assessed a global analysis of the MHWs that have occurred between 1982 and 2020 along Central and South coastal Chile, from 29°S to 55°S. We found that the last decade was record-breaking in terms of duration, intensity and occurrence of MHWs. In 2016, succession of MHWs during austral autumn, winter and spring lead to the formation of the longest (148 days, almost 5 months) and most extreme events (2.25°C above the climatology) ever recorded along Chile between 1982 and 2020. Those events were due to the advection of warm-waters anomalies coming from the open ocean and combination of persisting high pressure system with lower winds having led to reduced heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere. In addition, a global context of positive phases of El Niño Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode contributed to the MHWs formation. Les vagues de chaleur marine, ou marine heatwaves (MHWs), sont des évènements discrets caractérisés par des eaux anormalement chaudes. Elles se produisent dans tous les océans, que ce soit en milieu côtier ou en pleine mer, et impactent fortement les écosystèmes marins, mais également les pêcheries et l’aquaculture. Bien que les processus menant à la formation de tels évènements soient de plus en plus étudiés depuis le début des années 2010, les interactions qu’ils ont entre eux pour conduire à la formation de MHWs restent encore relativement méconnues. Il est cependant de plus en plus certain que les MHWs sont liées au réchauffement climatique anthropique. Le sud du Chili (41°5’S – 46°S) est constitué d’un ensemble de fjords où les conséquences du réchauffement climatique se font déjà ressentir, que ce soient des modifications climatiques à l’échelle locale ou régionale. Cependant, d’après nos connaissances, il n’y a jamais eu d’étude portant sur les MHWs dans cette région du monde. Par conséquent, nous avons réalisé une étude globale des MHWs qui se sont produites entre 1982 et 2020 le long des côtes du Centre et du Sud du Chili, de 29°S à 55°S. Nous avons trouvé que la dernière décennie a été marquée par des MHWs particulièrement longues et fortes, et qu’elles se sont produites en plus grand nombre. En 2016, plusieurs MHWs se sont succédées de l’automne jusqu’au printemps australs, conduisant à la formation de la plus longue MHW (148 jours) et de la plus extrême (2.25°C au-dessus de la climatologie). Ces MHWs se sont produits suite au transport près des côtes d’eaux anormalement chaudes en provenance du Pacifique extratropical, associées à des hautes pressions stationnaires et une réduction des vents conduisant à une diminution des échanges de chaleur entre l’océan et l’atmosphère, en partie liés à des phases positives de El Niño Southern Oscillation et du Southern Annular Mode.

Abstract

This book covers a broad range of sea surface temperature studies from very different points of view and scales; the SST is observed from very local to regional and oceanic scales. The chapters of this book move from local and remote data sensing validation to local and regional trend analysis, and also give some insight into marine heatwaves and future climate scenarios.

Abstract

Noise generated by aircraft continues to be a pressing issue for society, as an increasing number of people residing in close proximity to airports make noise complaints on a regular basis. The reduction in aircraft noise is therefore a very important engineering task that would require the careful identification of different acoustic sources around the airplane, the understanding of noise source behavior and ranking along flight trajectories, sophisticated measurement techniques, and robust and accurate numerical tools aimed at predicting the generation of noise, the propagation through the atmosphere, and the resulting noise impact along approach and departure flights. For an overall assessment of the situation, it has to be assessed along entire flight trajectories rather than assessing limited operating conditions only. Furthermore, it is highly recommended to apply multiple acoustic metrics and account for different and widespread observer locations along the flight. Only then can the overall situation be adequately captured. Obviously, this is a highly multidisciplinary effort and no single discipline can address this problem. This reprint includes selected research studies with that multidisciplinary context that deal with numerical or experimental investigations that range from the investigation of specific noise sources to the assessment of noise generated by the overall aircraft in operation. Both basic and applied research studies involving the modelling and simulation of aircraft noise are included.
