Program - International Weather and Climate Forum

IWF 2009 – General Public Program (20-25 october 2009)
WEATHER
Météo-France
Comment élabore-t-on une prévision météo?
With the participation of Météo-France, the public has discovered how a forecast is made,
then how it is "decrypted" to allow its use on a map.
Studio École de France et Studec TV
Présentez votre bulletin météo comme à la radio ou comme à télé
With the help of professional weather presenters, everyone was able to practice presenting
their own weather report in the TV studio or radio studio.
SPACE
ESA
Quiz "La ville face aux changements climatiques"
A facilitator guided the public in the use of electronic control this quiz with 20 questions.
Des satellites au secours de la Terre
The workshop helped to observe and study two current issues: fire and pollution. To
understand these phenomena, the visitors had at their disposal roadmaps, satellite images
and maps.
Puzzle "La pollution dans le monde"
Our planet is becoming more polluted. But will you give each country the right level of
pollution? This was the riddle of the puzzle "The pollution in the world" which also allowed to
test their geographic knowledge.
CNES
JASON et la montée des eaux qui menace les villes du littoral
By 30 years, 6 billion people inhabit the coast and a large part will be threatened by rising
sea levels! Everyone was able to discover why a satellite as JASON 2 is necessary to
accurately determine the elevation of the sea level and evaluate the long-term consequences
for the environment and people.
CALIPSO et la pollution urbaine par les particules
The atmosphere is one of the components of the climate system. It accounts for half of the
heat balance of the planet seems to be misaligned. The causes? Greenhouse gas
emissions, but also the impact of aerosols and clouds. In town, the road traffic, industrial
activities plus district heating in winter, generate significant aerosols that affect cloud cover
and are monitored and studied by satellites such as CALIPSO, PARASOL volume. This
workshop provided a better understanding of how the atmosphere in the climate system, the
role of aerosols and clouds and see the satellite tracking.
CLIMATE
Institut National des Sciences de l'Univers du CNRS
Quel climat pour demain ?
The greenhouse effect created by human activities certainly disrupt the climate, but the
magnitude of future climate change depend on future emissions.
INSU proposed to discuss and participate in fun experiences with researchers studying the
behavior of the atmosphere to estimate the magnitude of current developments and predict
future ones.
Experiences: the thermohaline circulation, the formation of clouds, the Coriolis force
(deviation of winds and currents as a result of the Earth itself), the blue sky and white clouds.

ENERGY
EDF
Faites comme Alain !
The EDF provides an animation stand "photo studio" not be missed ... Do as Alain Bernard
by committing to change energy. The principle is simple: do you take a picture, tell a few
words your actions and resolutions to change the energy and leave with a souvenir photo.
There is no right or wrong answer, every gesture counts!
GDF Suez
Princess Elisabeth, la station polaire zéro émission de CO2
This resort welcomes scientific missions to fight against climate change.
GDF SUEZ, through its subsidiary Electrabel and Laborelec his research laboratory, has
been working alongside the International Polar Foundation (IPF) and its founder, Alain
Hubert, for the realization of the Princess Elisabeth station, the first polar station "zero
emissions" of CO2 (it is powered by electricity from renewable energy).
ENVIRONMENT
ADEME
MtaTerre.fr
Website created by ADEME to adopt good practice daily reflexes.
La ville énergique !
This workshop addressed the insulation in a home energy problems, everyday actions.
Un climat en mouvement
What are the origins of climate change and how can we do?
Tu ne manques pas d'air
Experiments on the detection of air and the problems of pollution and air quality.
Un transport vers le vert
Experiments on the detection of air and the problems of pollution and air quality.
PSA Peugeot Citroën
Êtes-vous un éco-conducteur ?
Everyone was able to learn about eco-responsible driving through our simulator. It allowed to
test driving actions that reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions from vehicles.
Banque Populaire avec la Fondation Nicolas Hulot
La Banque Populaire, pionnier du financement de la protection de l'environnement et
de la solidarité
An interactive test your knowledge in the fight against climate change quiz.
Mobilisons-nous pour un monde viable et solidaire et signons l'appel de l'ultimatum
climatique avec la Fondation Nicolas Hulot
The Foundation proposed to test his knowledge and environmental sensitivity through
various games.
Eaux de Paris
Le Bar à Eau
Eaux de Paris is an independent authority of the City of Paris.
During the week, professionals took turns to present the water quality in Paris, its origin and
how to better use.
Commission Européenne DG Environnement
Changement climatique: vous pouvez le contrôler !
Using a quiz, Myriam and Anne tested the knowledge of visitors to climate change.
