CNRS-Hydralab

General Information

The Coriolis platform in Grenoble, as well as the Stratified flume in Toulouse are jointly open to research team from eligible states in the frame of the Integrated Infrastructure Initiative HYDRALAB IV funded by the 7th EC framewoork programme. In order to use one of these installations, submit a proposal including the scientific aims of the study, the relevance of using the installation and a brief description of the proposed experiments. A preliminary informal contact with the infrastructure manager is strongly advised before finalizing the proposal.

Experiments on vertical motions of rotating flows over variable topography

22 apr 2009 - 20 may 2009
This project seeks to gain a better understanding of vertical displacements in a rotating fluid interacting with topographic features. Although vertical motions at meso and large scales in the oceans are usually one order of magnitude smaller than horizontal displacements, they play a (...) > continue

Evolution of coherent modes in the dynamics of planetary polar vortices

16 mar 2009 - 03 apr 2009

Polar vortices represent a key element in the atmospheric dynamics of the planets. They are common structures which are observed in any planet with an atmosphere, including the Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. Polar vortices are of interest because they act as a barrier, inhibiting energy transport and potentially preventing the mixing of aerosols and chemical species
