Jean-Pierre Chaboureau

I am Physicist at Laboratoire d'Aérologie (University of Toulouse/CNRS) within the mesoscale meteorology research group. My main area of interest is the atmospheric water cycle. Have a look to my publications.

Much of my activity is dedicated to the cloud schemes of the French mesoscale model Méso-NH and their evaluation using satellite observations through the model-to-satellite approach. The use of such an approach is illustrated upon some selected meteorological cases. The physically consistent hydrometeor and thermodynamic outputs from some Meso-NH simulations are used to generate a database called SIMGEO for cloud and precipitation retrievals. You will find also the sources of a statistical cloud parameterization. I am currently involved in several international projects, FENNEC, TRO-pico, and HyMeX.
