We are looking forward to (virtually) see you there !
New IGE project, the Scale Aware Sea Ice Project (SASIP) - Posted 01 Jun 2021
A new project coordinated by IGE and led by Pierre Rampal (MEOM) has begun in 2021 : the Scale Aware Sea Ice Project (SASIP) It involves 10 international partners from France, Norway, US, Italy, UK and Germany.
It aims at better understanding the impact of amplified warming in polar regions, through the development of a new sea ice modelling paradigm.
SASIP kick off meeting - Posted 11 May 2021
We are happy to announce you the beginning of the Scale-Aware Sea Ice Project (SASIP), which is coordinated by IGE and started on April 1st.
SASIP kick off meeting will be held remotely on May 11th and 12th, 2021 on two consecutive half-days (9:30am – 12pm CEST)
Work Package leaders and participants will give an overview of the project objectives and discuss activities planned over the next years.

SWOT 3rd Science Team Meeting 2018 (26-29 June 2018) - Posted 18 Jun 2018
The third SWOT Science Team Meeting will be held in Montreal on June 26-29, 2018.
The overall objective of the meeting is to discuss science and data processing issues in preparation for SWOT altimetry mission to be launched in 2021.
The MEOM group has followed the preparation of SWOT altimetry mission since the early 2010’. As we are now getting closer to the mission launch, we are very excited to attend our next meeting in Montreal where several group members will present their work.
- Laura Gomez Navarro will present a synthesis of the groups activities in terms of denoising and reconstruction methods for SWOT ocean data;
- Adekunle Ajayi will present results on the variability of eddy scales in the North Atlantic on the basis of NATL60 model data;
- Redouane Lguensat will show how Convolutional Neural Networks may be used for the inversion of SWOT ocean data.
Our delegation will also comprise Emmanuel Cosme and Julien Le Sommer, the two co-Is of our SWOT CNES funded project and Jacques Verron (Ocean-Next).
We are looking forward to see you there.
PS : Results and research movies on the inversion of SWOT ocean data will be regularly posted on our Youtube channel.

Postdoctoral position opens in January 2018 - Posted 05 Oct 2017
A 3-year postodoctoral position is open in the MEOM group of the Institute for Environmental Geosciences (IGE), Grenoble, France.
The conducted research will be part of the BOOST-SWOT project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). The goal of BOOST-SWOT is to improve the use of satellite altimetry data for the production of sea level products. The successful candidate will be involved in numerical simulations of the ocean circulation, model design and optimization with machine learning techniques, and data assimilation. Scientific results shall be published in peer-reviewed journals. The postdoctoral project includes strong collaborations with other groups in Toulouse and Brest (France).
The applicants should hold a PhD in oceanography or geophysical fluid dynamics, with experience in scientific computing. A background in data assimilation or machine learning is desirable but not required.
The position is for three years, possibly starting in January 2018. The proposed salary will be based on skills and experience, within national standards. Candidates interested in this research project should send their application including academic CV, a statement of interest, and two references to Emmanuel Cosme.
Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
2017 Probabilistic Oceanography Workshop (by invitation) - Posted 01 Feb 2017
This international Workshop will take place in Grenoble on 20-21 April 2017.
We will discuss the origin and structure of the ocean’s Chaotic Intrinsic Variability that emerges in the turbulent regime, and impacts most oceanic fields over a wide range of space and time scales.
We will also address the atmospheric modulation and possible climate impacts of this oceanic “chaos”, the modelling strategies and new diagnostic approaches required to address these questions.
More details are provided on the workshop website.
