Book Description
LE TRAVAIL présenté s'intéresse d'abord à l'étude climatique de l'évalpotranspiration dans une région située le long du Tropique Sud, de la Polynésie à la côte Est Australienne, centrée sur la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Il est suivi d'une étude méthodologique de l'évaporation en régions semiarides de l'Australie du Sud. LES GRANDES ZONES climatiques de l'ensemble de la région étudiée sont déterminées par deux structures atmosphériques dynamiques, la Zone de Convergence Inter Tropicale au Nord et la Ceinture Anticyclonique SubTropicale, au Sud. Leurs déplacements périodiques en latitude définissent les climats locaux. L'ÉTUDE CLIMATOLOGIQUE de l'évapotranspiration montre les interactions entre l'évapotranspiration, les bilans énergétiques, les autres éléments du climat et les types de temps rattachés à des situations météorologiques identifiées. Elle met en évidence le rôle de l'advection. L'ÉTUDE MÉTÉOROLOGIQUE réalisée pour différents couverts végétaux, prairie sèche, association forêt claire à eucalyptus - buissons - sol nu, rizière, tente d'effectuer une comparaison entre des méthodes micrométéorologiques classiques et l'utilisation des isotopes naturels stables de l'eau pour suivre les mouvements de l'eau dans le continuum sol - plante - atmosphère. UN ESSAI de synthèse régionale à partir de bilans est proposé. THE WORK which is presented here first deals with climatic studies of evapotranspiration along the South Tropic, from Polynesia to the East coast of Australia. It focuses mainly on New-Caledonia. This study is followed by a methodological study of evapotranspiration in semi-arid areas of South Australia. CLIMATES of the whole region of our interest are governed both by the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone to the North and the Anticyclonic Belt to the South. Their periodic latitudinal movements determine the local climates. CIMATIC STUDIES of evapotranspiration have shown interactions between evapotranspiration, other climatic parameters and types of weather described by some typical meteorogical situations, they have shown also evidence of strong advection. METHODOLOGICAL STUDIES were carried out for various types of vegetation, dry grasslands, Eucalyptus - bush - bare soils associations, rice fields. They have made an attempt to compare classical micrometeorological methods with the use of natural stable isotopes of water to trace water movements in the soil - plant - atmosphere continuum. A REGIONAL SYNTHESIS bas been proposed based on hydrological budgets.

The Mediterranean region under climate change
Author: Collectif
Publisher: IRD Éditions
ISBN: 2709922207
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 736
Book Description
This book has been published by Allenvi (French National Alliance for Environmental Research) to coincide with the 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP22) in Marrakesh. It is the outcome of work by academic researchers on both sides of the Mediterranean and provides a remarkable scientific review of the mechanisms of climate change and its impacts on the environment, the economy, health and Mediterranean societies. It will also be valuable in developing responses that draw on “scientific evidence” to address the issues of adaptation, resource conservation, solutions and risk prevention. Reflecting the full complexity of the Mediterranean environment, the book is a major scientific contribution to the climate issue, where various scientific considerations converge to break down the boundaries between disciplines.

An Introduction to Differential Manifolds
Author: Jacques Lafontaine
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319207350
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
This book is an introduction to differential manifolds. It gives solid preliminaries for more advanced topics: Riemannian manifolds, differential topology, Lie theory. It presupposes little background: the reader is only expected to master basic differential calculus, and a little point-set topology. The book covers the main topics of differential geometry: manifolds, tangent space, vector fields, differential forms, Lie groups, and a few more sophisticated topics such as de Rham cohomology, degree theory and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for surfaces. Its ambition is to give solid foundations. In particular, the introduction of “abstract” notions such as manifolds or differential forms is motivated via questions and examples from mathematics or theoretical physics. More than 150 exercises, some of them easy and classical, some others more sophisticated, will help the beginner as well as the more expert reader. Solutions are provided for most of them. The book should be of interest to various readers: undergraduate and graduate students for a first contact to differential manifolds, mathematicians from other fields and physicists who wish to acquire some feeling about this beautiful theory. The original French text Introduction aux variétés différentielles has been a best-seller in its category in France for many years. Jacques Lafontaine was successively assistant Professor at Paris Diderot University and Professor at the University of Montpellier, where he is presently emeritus. His main research interests are Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian geometry, including some aspects of mathematical relativity. Besides his personal research articles, he was involved in several textbooks and research monographs.
