By Davide Faranda, LSCE-IPSL ClimaMeter offers a dynamic approach to contextualize and analyze weather extremes within a climate context. This framework provides both easily understandable immediate contextualization of extreme weather events as well as more in-depth technical analysis shortly after the events.

The mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere are characterized by strong westerly winds circulating in a relatively narrow band of latitudes. These zonal winds play an important role in ocean circulation and influence the oceans' capacity to store carbon. These winds are therefore also thought to play a key role in regulating atmospheric CO2 during past glacial-interglacial cycles. However, past variations in their position and strength remain poorly understood.

A Franco-German study coordinated by the LSCE (CEA-CNRS-UVSQ) estimates that climate change could shift the peak in Arctic Ocean acidity from winter to summer, which would be disruptive to the ecosystem.. See

Crops are expected to produce more biomass with a higher CO2 concentration. This is the CO2 fertilization effect widely known in the scientific community.

Dear LSCE collegues,   We are looking for a motivated post-doctoral researcher to work on atmospheric chemistry during the past climate and its impact on the interpretation of the ice-core records of the oxygen isotopes of air O2. The post holder will be based at LSCE and will work under the guidance of Ji-Woong Yang in collaboration with researchers and engineers at LSCE and LATMOS.

Dear All, I am pleased to announce the opening of a permanent position at CEA/LSCE for a Data scientist to support LSCE's involvement within the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. https://www.emploi.cea.fr/offre-de-emploi/emploi-data-scientist-sur-les-gaz-a-effet-de-serre-dans-le-cadre-du-programme-copernicus-h-f_28320.aspx Do not hesitate to spread the news or contact me for further information if you wish to apply.
