About

LAERO (Laboratoire d’Aérologie), a joint CNRS-Univ.Toulouse-IRD research unit based in Toulouse and Lannemezan (France), aims to observe and understand the atmosphere.

Its research areas include the physical chemistry of the troposphere and lower stratosphere, as well as the physics and dynamics of the meteorological atmosphere and the ocean. LAERO carries out numerous in situ and airborne observations (gas, aerosols, dynamics, meteorology, lightning, etc.) in Occitanie and around the world, from the Southern Ocean to Alaska via Africa, and participates in the development and operation of space missions and projects: C3IEL, AOS/C2MODO, IASI, ECLAT, MTG-LI, etc.

LAERO is at the forefront of numerical simulation thanks to its leadership in the development of the Méso-NH atmospheric model (research version of the weather forecasting model used by Météo-France) and the CROCO ocean model. It also has cutting-edge expertise in high-performance computing and porting to exaflop and petaflop supercomputers.

It also has a chemical analysis laboratory, a CPU/GPU computing cluster (Nuwa), the Pyrenean Atmospheric Observation Platform (P2OA) and the Corsican Atmospheric Observation Platform (PCOA).
