WELCOME TO SIRTA

The SIRTA Atmospheric Research Observatory is one of few sites in Europe offering the instrumentation and the facilities to study atmospheric physico-chemical processes from the surface to the upper troposphere through the boundary layer. At SIRTA, we study climate variability at regional and decadal scales and evaluate the performance of atmospheric models (climate projection, weather forecast, chemistry-transport, etc.).

 

Our laboratories

IPSL

The Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) unites the expertise of eight laboratories and two associated teams specialising in one or more aspects of the climate and environmental sciences and the exploration of the solar system. Nearly 1,500 people (researchers and lecturer-researchers, engineers, technicians, administrative staff, doctoral students, post-docs and interns) work on around ten sites in Île-de-France.

LMD

The Laboratoire de météorologie dynamique (LMD) studies climate, pollution and planetary atmospheres by associating theoretical approaches with instrumental developments in observation and digital modelling. It is at the forefront of research on dynamic and physical processes to permit the study of the evolution and prediction of meteorological and climatic phenomena.

LSCE

The Laboratoire des sciences du climat et de l'environnement (LSCE) strives to understand climate change at all timescales and to predict the upheavals that our planet will face in the coming decades and centuries due to the rapid increase in greenhouse gases.

LATMOS

The Laboratoire Atmosphères, Milieux, Observations spatiales (LATMOS) is a research unit that brings together activities previously developed by the Service d'Aéronomie and by more than half of CETP. It is part of the Observatory of Sciences of the Universe at UVSQ.

CEREA

The Centre d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Environnement Atmosphérique (CEREA) is a joint laboratory combining the Ponts ParisTech school and EDF R&D. It studies the physico-chemical processes of air pollution and of the atmospheric boundary layer as well as data assimilation and inverse modelling in geosciences.

GeePs

The laboratory is a joint unit of CNRS, CentraleSupelec, Paris-Saclay University and Sorbonne University. Created in 2015, it is the result of the merger of the LGEP (Laboratoire de Génie Electrique de Paris, the original mixed unit) with part of the ex-Supélec host team and the L2E (Laboratoire d'Electronique et d'Electromagnétisme) host team from Sorbonne University. It is located on the CentraleSupélec campus of Paris-Saclay University in Gif-sur-Yvette and on the Pierre and Marie Curie campus of Sorbonne University in Paris. The research work carried out within the unit combines a triple approach: theory - numerical modelling - characterisation and experimental validation.
