Maintained the TOOCAN algorithm (Tracking Of Organized Convection Algorithm through a 3-D segmentatioN) detecting and tracking Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCS) from geostationary data.
Developed and maintained, in IDL, algorithms describing the evolution of geophysical parameters (rain, longwave flux and albedo from the Megha-Tropiques satellite) along the MCS lifecycles.
Contributed to scientific presentations: MCS life cycle : TOA flux from SCARAB, R Roca, B. Rouquié,T.Fiolleau,O.Chomette, P.Raberanto and D.
