Title of report: Sensibility evaluation of the atmospheric dynamics to the resolution of the atmospheric model (WRF) in the strait of Sicily with an application of a highresolution oceanic model (NEMO-MED12) forcing. Date of submission: June 2011 Supervisor: DROBINSKI Philippe e-mail: philippe.drobinski@lmd.polytechnique.fr Short Abstract: This project concerns the evaluation of the sensibility of the atmospheric dynamics to the resolution of the atmospheric model in the strait of Sicily with an application for the forcing of a high-resolution model. The used data are the releases of the atmospheric model WRF with 50 km and 20 km resolution’s simulations and the oceanic model NEMO-MED12 which was forced by fields stemming from the atmospheric model WRF of 20 km of resolution. The approached technique is the classification of wind regimes. These classifications allowed us to understand better the spatiotemporal variability of the atmospheric circulation in the strait of Sicily and to reveal the contribution of the refinement of the resolution in the atmospheric dynamics. By using the wind regimes obtained from the classification of 20 km wind simulation, we determined the influence of such a resolution on the representation of both branches of AW (ATC and AIS), the bifurcation location in the strait and the effect of the atmospheric circulation on the modification of the criteria of the oceanic circulation.

Title of report: Assessment of the impacts of climate changes on water resources – Case study: Application of the SWAT model on the catchment of Oued Chiba, Tunisia. Date of submission: February 2013 Supervisor: BEN ABDALLAH Sihem e-mail: sihem.benabdallah@certe.rnrt.tn Short Abstract: This study concerns the evaluation of the climate change impact on water resources. The zone of interest is the basin of Chiba River. Our strategy is based on the application of SWAT, a hydrological model on physical basis, to study the hydrological responses of the basin in question. The calibration of the SWAT model was made over the period of 2000-2010. It led to values of the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), the ratio of the root mean square error to the standard deviation (RSR) and of the percent bias (PBIAS) of 0.75, 0.5 and 12.61 % respectively. The current answer of the basin was simulated by using observed data over the period of 1989-2000. The outputs of two scenarios KNMI and SMHI was used for the evaluation of the climate change impact on water resources. For every scenario, two simulations were conducted: a reference simulation over the period of 1971-2000 and a future simulation over the period of 2041-2070.The comparison between the various simulations showed that the increase of the temperature and the decrease of the precipitation estimated by both scenarios KNMI and SMHI would have an impact on the water balance of the basin of study. This impact results, mainly, in a decrease of the surface flow (SURQ), the total aquifer recharge (TOT_AQ_RCHRG) and the soil moisture content (SW). The reduction in these parameters indicates the critic future that water resources run in the basin of Chiba River and incites to establish a new water resources management in order to protect water resources. Mother tongue: Arabic English level: very good Other languages French: very good Computer skills I'm confortable with Windows and Linux Operating System. I have strong knowledge of programming languages and Scripts: Fortran, C/C++, Linux Shell. I used different Softwares and Applications for statistical studies (R, Matlab) and for hydrlogic and hydraulic modeling (ArcGis, ArcSWAT, Idrisi, Feflow). I have manipulated differents formats of GCM and RCM outputs (netcdf, grib). I have solid knowledge of scientific data analysis and visualization language such as NCAR Command Language and GrADS. Additional information On 2011, I passed my first year of master research in Hydraulic Modeling and Environment. On 2012, I held the position of a research engineer in the Center Of Research and Technologies of Water in order to prepare my research paper. On February 2013, I submitted my research paper and it was approved. Administrative procedures are ongoing in order to get my Diploma in Hydraulic Modeling and Environment.
