ANR

• COCOA: COmprehensive Coupling approach for the Ocean and the Atmosphere. PI: E. Blayo. Duration: 4 years (Jan. 2017 - Dec. 2020). Other partners: Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (UMR8212, Gif-sur-Yvette), Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (UMR8539, Paris), Laboratoire d'Océanographie Physique et Spatiale (UMR6523, Brest), Centre National de Recherche Météorologique (UMR3589, Toulouse), Cerfacs (Toulouse). This project aims at revisiting the overall representation of air-sea interactions in coupled ocean-atmosphere models, and particularly in climate models, by coherently considering physical, mathematical, numerical and algorithmic aspects.

• C. Prieur and E. Arnaud are involved as experts in project High-Tune http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/Projet-ANR-16-CE01-0010 funded by ANR.

• A 4-year contract : ANR HEAT (Highly Efficient ATmospheric modelling) http://www.agence-nationale-recherche.fr/?Project=ANR-14-CE23-0010.
