Main goal
I’m interested in evaluating the radiative impact of aerosol dust on atmospheric dynamics which is an important component of the climate system but is still poorly quantified. To reach my goals, I use an observations-modelling coupled aproach. In term of modelling my mean is the regional atmospheric model MesoNH coupled […]

About aerosols
Aerosols are known to be small particles of matter suspended in the air. In nature, aerosols are emitted by natural phenomena such as dust storms, volcanoes, wildfires and grassland fires etc. Now aerosols are also originated from human activities, mainly burning of fossil fuels and industrial emissions. Artificial aerosols represent […]
