  1. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites Objectives of the round table : Establish a list of hydrometeorological sites and supersites for SOP/EOP, focus first on the first EOP/SOP (2011-2014) For each supersite/site: describe the associated scientific aims, type of instruments, identify some contact points. A priority list could be established

  2. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites A common definition/language for HyMeX site and supersite ?

  3. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « super-sites » = Research watersheds of some 10-km² dedicated to process studies From an “hydrological” point of view CVMHO Valescure CVMHO Lez-Coulazou ORE Draix-Bléone Granites and schists Limestones Marls Water budget and Karsts and fresh water resources Erosion and Flash-flood genesis Karsts and floods Solid transport

  4. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « pilot-sites » = Research watersheds of some 1000-km² dedicated to distributed observation and modelling studies at the regional scale From an “hydrological” point of view Pilot-site Gardon (2000 km²) Super-site Valescure (5 km²) Gardon de Saint Jean (200 km²)

  5. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites Ardèche Cèze Gardon Hérault Vidourle Orb Aude Agly Têt « sites » = Target areas affected by same hydrometeorological events From an “hydrological” point of view Site Pilot-site

  6. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « sites » = Target areas affected by same hydrometeorological events From a “meteorological” point of view Site

  7. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « super-sites » = a specific location gathering research intruments for study of given processes From a “meteorological” point of view Low-level inflow supersite (RS, GPS, UHF/VHF wind profilers, lidar ?) no pilot-site, but rather transect and instruments covering all the site (radar) ?

  8. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « super-sites » = a specific location gathering research intruments for study of given processes From a “meteorological” point of view Other possible upwind supersites

  9. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « sites » = Target areas affected by same hydrometeorological events From an “ocean” point of view Major sites of dense Water formation Major sites of deep Water formation Influence of coastal waters Site

  10. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites « super-sites » = a specific location gathering research intruments for study of given processes From an “ocean” point of view Dense water formation and deep convection supersite (buoy, mooring)

  11. Round table PS1b EOP/SOP sites and supersites Inventory of hydrometeorological sites and supersites

  16. 3rd HyMex Workshop, 1-4 June 2009 Aegean-Cretan Sea and Levantine basin EOP Deep water formation: *instrumentation/strategy (HCMR-Univ. Athens) ** Two existing and a new proposed at Rhodes Gyre (HCMR) ***Monitor BSW outflow (Univ. Aegean) Gliders* CTD Surveys* Buoys** HF Radar *** with 02 measurements ? WG4: Intense sea-atmosphere interactions

  17. 3rd HyMex Workshop, 1-4 June 2009 Production of NAdDW Dispersion of NAdDW transects CTD Adriatic Sea SOP • Air-sea interactions & water budget: • Same as EOP • Aircraft in the southern Adriatic The Bora research to date has been mainly focused on the dynamics and structure of severe Bora in the northern Adriatic. Examined to a significantly lesser degree is a less predictable counterpart in the southern Adriatic, where the Dinaric Alps are higher, broader, and steeper, and where the upwind Bora layer is generally less well defined.
