Sea surface temperature and salinity seasonal changes in the western Solomon and Bismarck Seas
We analyze mean and seasonal change of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Salinity (SSS) in the Solomon and Bismarck Seas, using 1977-2009 in situ data collected from Voluntary Observing Ships. Covariability of these two variables with surface wind, altimeter-derived and model-derived horizontal currents, precipitation, and Sepik River discharge are...
Spatio-temporal patterns and landscape-associated risk of Buruli ulcer in Akonolinga, Cameroon
Background: Buruli ulcer (BU) is an extensively damaging skin infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, whose transmission mode is still unknown. The focal distribution of BU and the absence of interpersonal transmission suggest a major role of environmental factors, which remain unidentified. This study provides the first description of the spat...

16ème groupe de travail sur les thons tropicaux
Since the mid 1990s, drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (dFADS), artificial objects specifically designed to aggregate fish, have become an important mean of catching tropical tunas in the Indian Ocean for the purse seine fleet. In recent years, the massive deployments of dFADs as well as the massive use of tracking GPS and echosounder buoys on dFAD...
Utilisation des prévisions saisonnières de pluie produites par Météo France (modèle ARPEGE System4) pour la prévision du...
Les index pluviométriques reconstitués en mode prévision par le modèle Arpege System4 sur l'Afrique de l'ouest pour la période 1991-2012 sont utilisés pour mettre au point deux modèles de prévision du débit naturel de crue du fleuve Sénégal à Bakel. Le premier modèle utilise les index pluviométriques prévus début août pour les mois de septembre et ...
Evolution des pluies de cumul élévé et recrudescence des crues depuis 1951 dans le bassin du Niger Moyen (Sahel)
L'augmentation observée du ruisseIlement et des écoulements au Sahel depuis le début de la sécheresse constitue le "paradoxe hydrologique du Sahel". Il est attribué depuis sa mise en évidence dans les années 1980 au changement d'usage des sols, la combinaison de la mise en cultures, du raccourcissement des jachères et de la fragilisation des couver...
