Type of internship
Théorique, numérique Description
Can thousands of recreational flights become an observatory of atmospheric convection? This internship will use large-scale paragliding trajectories to investigate the structure and dynamics of thermal updrafts. Combining atmospheric physics, trajectory analysis and statistical inference, we will explore what nearby pilots can reveal collectively about an invisible, evolving flow, while accounting for the selective way they explore it.
