6.4: CNRS – GAME
Expertise and experience of the organization
The Groupe d'étude de l'Atmosphère Météorologique (GAME) is a joint research unit of the CNRS and the
Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques of Meteo-France. The laboratory activities cover six main
research topics including water cycle (processes, modelling, assimilation), climate and climate change,
ocean-atmosphere exchange, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, urban meteorology, modelling and
instrumental development.
Role and contribution
Airborne aerosol measurements in WP3 (microphysics and chemistry).
Principal personnel involved
Laurent Gomes (Ph.D.; Ph.: +33-5-61079807; Fax: +33-5-61079627, e-mail: laurent.gomes@meteo.fr) - is
senior scientist at CNRS. He is working more than 15 years on various aspects of tropospheric aerosols at
regional/urban scale. His major field is now aerosol/clouds interactions; co-author of about 40 peer-reviewed
publications in the field of measurements and modelling of physical and chemical properties of aerosols,
their impact on cloud microphysics and their effects on air pollution and climate. He has participated to
various EU projects over 10 years (WELSONS, STAAARTE, EUFAR, ACCENT, EUCAARI).

6.5: CNRS – LGGE
Expertise and experience of the organization
The Laboratoire de Glaciologie et Géophysique de l’ENvironnement (LGGE) is a joint research unit of the
CNRS and Université Joseph Fourrier (Grenoble). The laboratory activities cover several topic including ice
cores paleoclimatology, and atmospheric researches in polar and non-polar regions. In this last field over the
last years, researches were developed for high altitudes characterisation of aerosols (CARBOSOL program)
and evaluation of emission sources and impact in alpine valleys (POVA program).
