- Abstract
Despite great promise for understanding the impacts and extent of climate change and extreme weather events on aquatic animals, their species, and ecological communities, it is surprising that electronic tagging and tracking tools, like biotelemetry and biologging, have not been extensively used to understand climate change or develop and evaluate potential interventions that may help adapt to its impacts. In this review, we provide an overview of methodologies and study designs that leverage available electronic tracking tools to investigate aspects of climate change and extreme weather events in aquatic ecosystems. Key interventions to protect aquatic life from the impacts of climate change, including habitat restoration, protected areas, conservation translocations, mitigations against interactive effects of climate change, and simulation of future scenarios, can all be greatly facilitated by using electronic tagging and tracking. We anticipate that adopting animal tracking to identify phenotypes, species, or ecosystems that are vulnerable or resilient to climate change will help in applying management interventions such as fisheries management, habitat restoration, invasive species control, or enhancement measures that prevent extinction and strengthen the resilience of communities against the most damaging effects of climate change. Given the scalability and increasing accessibility of animal tracking tools for researchers, tracking individual organisms will hopefully also facilitate research into effective solutions and interventions against the most extreme and acute impacts on species, populations, and ecosystems.

Lakes host a high level of biodiversity, especially in their littoral zone, and provide various ecological and socio‐economic services. Lake ecosystems are impacted by a combination of pressures from different human activities (industry, hydroelectricity, agriculture, recreational activities, domestic and urban uses). Anthropic pressures can lead to alterations and dysfunctions in lakes, particularly in the littoral zone.The 2000 EU Water Framework Directive led to considerable efforts to improve the ecological status of European water bodies. However, in France, measures implemented by lake managers to counteract, limit or suppress anthropogenic impacts are still poorly identified. Moreover, their effects on hydromorphology, physico‐chemistry and biotic communities are often only partially reported (the monitoring being incomplete or heterogeneous, if not missing).This paper proposes a framework to harmonize the monitoring of habitat improvement actions conducted in the littoral zone of lakes. The monitoring method is presented as well as the sampling protocols and techniques set out to survey both the restored and control zones at the European French territory scale.Long‐term monitoring of hydromorphological, biological and physicochemical features is expected to improve our understanding of recolonization mechanisms following restoration. The proposed approach will therefore guide practitioners to identify the best restoration options and ultimately contribute to the conservation of recipient populations and communities.

- Abstract
Geolocating aquatic animals with acoustic tags has been ongoing for decades, relying on the detection of acoustic signals at multiple receivers with known positions to calculate a 2D or 3D position, and ultimately recreate the path of an aquatic animal from detections at fixed stations. This method of underwater geolocation is evolving with new software and hardware options available to help investigators design studies and calculate positions using solvers based predominantly on time-difference-of-arrival and time-of-arrival. We provide an overview of the considerations necessary to implement positioning in aquatic acoustic telemetry studies, including how to design arrays of receivers, test performance, synchronize receiver clocks and calculate positions from the detection data. We additionally present some common positioning algorithms, including both the free open-source solvers and the ‘black-box’ methods provided by some manufacturers for calculating positions. This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of methods and considerations for designing and implementing better positioning studies that will support users, and encourage further knowledge advances in aquatic systems.

Freshwater ecosystems, and lakes in particular, significantly contribute to biodiversity. At the top of the food web, predatory species promote biodiversity and stabilize ecosystems. They have direct and indirect cascading effects on numerous ecosystem functions as well as numerous services that these ecosystems provide to humans. Maintaining the diversity of these species is thus of utmost importance, and understanding the mechanisms of their coexistence is a crucial question in ecology. Based on niche theory, there are several identified mechanisms of species’ coexistence. Niche is defined as the range of environmental states, biotic and abiotic, specific to a species, which facilitate its existence. By focusing on habitat and trophic niches, two main components of the ecological niche, we aimed to highlight how wild predator communities are maintained in lacustrin ecosystems. Ectotherms being particularly sensitive to abiotic conditions, we also aimed to analyze how environmental conditions could affect their habitat niche. Individuals of pike Esox lucius L., perch Perca fluviatilis L., pikeperch Sander lucioperca (L.) and catfish Silurus glanis L. were tracked and/or sampled in a stratified reservoir and in a shallow natural lake. Their habitat niche was evaluated by coupling high resolution positioning acoustic telemetry with habitat mapping. The trophic niche was estimated by analyzing carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of fin clips. Our results provide evidence of habitat and trophic niche partitioning among these predatory species, probably as a way to limit interspecific competition and thus stabilize species coexistence, in accordance with ecological theory. Yet, in both these niche components, the variation among individuals is often very large. For the trophic niche, a greater abundance of species generally correlates to greater intraspecific variation, and is interpreted as another stabilizing mechanism that buffers intraspecific competition. However in catfish this does not appear to occur; its trophic niche does not widen when it is more abundant. This likely reflects its generalist behavior at the individual level and could partly explain its successful colonization of numerous ecosystems. Environmental fluctuations drive these ectotherms’ niche, with different impacts depending on their timescale and their range. Seasonal environmental changes involve a limited number of temporal niches (cold/warm seasons) and gradually modulate species’ habitat niche, leading to a lesser degree of partitioning in low activity seasons (autumn, winter). In some specific environmental conditions, habitat niche shifts can be extreme like for long-lasting aggregations of catfish in winter conditions. A severe short-term hypoxic event triggered the grouping of catfish in a refuge area, probably without significant impact on this species. However, this event probably made the juvenile pikeperch abundance collapse, consequently affecting the juvenile piscivorous guild and intra- and interspecific trophic interactions, as shown for the trophic niche. This research provides valuable insights for lake managers to identify potential critical habitats or resources to preserve for species conservation. It also gives useful information on the strength of competitive interactions among species and their sensitivity to environmental conditions. These results shed light on important questions like whether species need to be regulated. This is particularly important when lakes host invasive exotic species that raise concern. As such, this work provides insights for managing lake ecosystems in the context of climate change.; Les écosystèmes d'eau douce et les lacs en particulier contribuent de façon importante à la biodiversité. Au sommet des réseaux trophiques, les prédateurs favorisent cette biodiversité et ont un rôle stabilisateur. Ils impactent directement et indirectement de nombreuses fonctions des écosystèmes et, par là même, de nombreux services écosystémiques. Maintenir la diversité des prédateurs est donc capital, et comprendre les mécanismes de leur coexistence une question clé en écologie. La théorie des niches a identifié plusieurs mécanismes de coexistence. La niche est définie comme l'ensemble des conditions biotiques et abiotiques qui permettent l'existence d'une espèce. En ciblant la niche d'habitat et la niche trophique, deux composantes majeures de la niche écologique, nous avons cherché à montrer comment, dans la nature, les communautés de prédateurs se maintiennent en lacs. Les ectothermes étant particulièrement sensibles aux conditions abiotiques, nous visions également à évaluer comment les conditions environnementales affectent leur niche d'habitat. Des individus de brochet Esox lucius L., perche européenne Perca fluviatilis L., sandre Sander lucioperca (L.) et silure Silurus glanis L. ont été suivis et/ou échantillonnés dans un réservoir stratifié et un lac naturel peu profond. Nous avons estimé leur niche d'habitat en couplant leur positionnement par télémétrie acoustique à une cartographie de l'habitat. Leur niche trophique a été estimée par l'analyse des isotopes stables du carbone et de l'azote de tissus de nageoires. Nos résultats mettent en évidence un partitionnement de l'habitat et de la niche trophique entre ces espèces, probablement comme moyen de limiter la compétition interspécifique, en accord avec la théorie. Cependant, les variations entre individus d'une même espèce sont souvent très importantes. Concernant la niche trophique, une plus forte abondance d'une espèce est en général corrélée à une plus forte variation intraspécifique, ce qui constituerait un autre mécanisme stabilisateur limitant la compétition intraspécifique. Le silure, quant à lui, ne semble pas élargir sa niche trophique lorsqu'il est plus abondant ; cela illustre son caractère généraliste au niveau individuel et pourrait en partie expliquer le succès de sa colonisation de nombreux écosystèmes. Les fluctuations environnementales témoignent d'un rôle moteur sur la niche de ces ectothermes, avec des impacts différents selon leur échelle temporelle et leur amplitude. Les changements saisonniers mettent en jeu un nombre limité de niches temporelles (saison froide/chaude) et modulent graduellement la niche d'habitat des espèces ; ils aboutissent à un moindre degré de partitionnement en saison de plus faible activité (automne, hiver). Dans certaines conditions, les changements de niche d'habitat peuvent être extrêmes comme les agrégations hivernales de silures. Une sévère hypoxie de relativement courte durée a déclenché le regroupement de silures dans une zone refuge, probablement sans autre impact significatif sur l'espèce. Par contre, cet évènement a probablement contribué à l'effondrement du stock de sandres juvéniles et, ainsi, considérablement modifié les interactions intra- et interspécifiques du guilde piscivore, comme montré sur la niche trophique. Ces recherches donnent des clés aux gestionnaires de plans d'eau pour identifier les habitats ou ressources critiques à préserver, typiquement dans le cadre de la conservation d'espèces. Elles renseignent également sur l'intensité de la compétition interspécifique et peuvent éclairer sur le besoin ou non de réguler une espèce, ce qui peut être particulièrement utile lorsqu'une espèce exotique invasive pose question. Ainsi, ce type de recherche peut éclairer les plans de gestion à mettre en œuvre dans le contexte du changement climatique.

- Abstract
Understanding animal movement is essential to elucidate how animals interact, survive, and thrive in a changing world. Recent technological advances in data collection and management have transformed our understanding of animal "movement ecology" (the integrated study of organismal movement), creating a big-data discipline that benefits from rapid, cost-effective generation of large amounts of data on movements of animals in the wild. These high-throughput wildlife tracking systems now allow more thorough investigation of variation among individuals and species across space and time, the nature of biological interactions, and behavioral responses to the environment. Movement ecology is rapidly expanding scientific frontiers through large interdisciplinary and collaborative frameworks, providing improved opportunities for conservation and insights into the movements of wild animals, and their causes and consequences.

The diversity of predatory species plays a key role in ecosystem functioning but our understanding of the mechanisms underlying their coexistence is limited, particularly in freshwater ecosystems. Northern pike Esox lucius, European perch Perca fluviatilis and pikeperch Sander lucioperca are three widespread predatory species in European lakes, where they often coexist. As potential competitors, we hypothesised that partitioning habitat is a determinant of species coexistence. This was tested by quantifying the variability of their habitat use in tracking adult individuals in the Bariousses reservoir (France, 86.6 ha, mean depth 7.1 m). Specifically, we investigated their distribution along the littoral–pelagic and depth axes along the daily cycle and across seasons. From littoral to pelagic waters were first found pike, then perch and finally pikeperch. Pike was the closest to the surface while pikeperch was the deepest. This general pattern was, however, variable across seasons with the three species located in the upper layer in summer during reservoir stratification. Individuals were more evenly distributed along the littoral–pelagic axis and closer to the bottom when water was mixing (autumn, winter). In summer, perch used more intensively in the pelagic zone during the daytime. Other species did not show any diel change of habitats. Our results highlighted that species coexistence is associated with habitat partitioning among these three predators, with perch showing a more variable behaviour regarding habitat characteristics. Now more than ever, in the context of global change which modifies habitats, it is of crucial importance to understand the coexistence mechanisms of species that shape ecosystems.

Lakes host a high level of biodiversity, particularly in their littoral zones, which are essential in the life cycle of many species. They are subject to various anthropogenic uses (industrial, domestic, hydroelectric, agricultural, socio-economic and recreational) which lead many pressures. Consequently, they cause alterations and dysfunctions, particularly in their littoral zones. Under the impulse of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), many efforts are being made to improve the ecological quality of these ecosystems. In France, lake managers implemented several measures to restore and mitigate anthropogenic impacts but they are still poorly identified. Moreover, their efficiency is often only partially reported (poor or no monitoring, heterogeneous monitoring ...). This project, led by the Pôle R&D "Ecosystèmes lacustres" (Aix-En-Provence), proposes a framework to harmonize the monitoring of habitat improvement actions in lake littoral zones (restoration, mitigation, habitat diversification) at a national scale. The purpose of this report is to detail and explain the choices made during the development of a monitoring method and associated protocols for the various physico-chemical and biological studied compartments., Les plans d'eau concentrent une biodiversité importante, notamment au niveau de leurs zones littorales, indispensables à un moment donné du cycle de vie de nombreuses espèces. Ils sont associés à divers usages1 (industriels, domestiques, hydroélectriques, agricoles, socio-économiques et de loisirs) les soumettant à des pressions multiples2. Ces dernières engendrent des altérations et des dysfonctionnements, en particulier sur les zones littorales. Sous l'impulsion de la directive-cadre sur l'eau (DCE), des efforts considérables sont entrepris pour améliorer la qualité écologique des milieux lacustres. En France, plusieurs mesures de restauration et d'atténuation des impacts anthropiques ont été initiées mais elles restent mal recensées. De plus, leur efficacité écologique n'est souvent que partiellement renseignée (peu ou pas de suivis, hétérogénéité des méthodes utilisées ...). Le présent projet mené par le Pôle ECLA « Ecosystèmes lacustres » (Pôle de recherche et développement d'Aix-En-Provence), propose un cadre visant à harmoniser les suivis des actions d'amélioration des habitats des zones littorales des plans d'eau (restauration, mitigation3, diversification des habitats) à l'échelle nationale. Ce rapport a pour but d'expliciter les choix faits pour le développement de la méthode et des protocoles de suivi associés aux différents compartiments physico-chimiques et biologiques.

Under the impulse of environmental policies, in particular Water framework directive, much attention has been paid to freshwater ecosystems to improve environmental quality. However, as lakes support numerous human activities they undergo strong anthropogenic pressures especially in their littoral zones which host a high biodiversity and have multiple ecological functions. Today, in France, many restoration projects concerning lakes shorelines are led, especially to mitigate anthropogenic pressures. But there is an important lack in the monitoring and assessment of the efficiency of those projects. French biodiversity agency and Irstea are developing a standardized methodology to monitor lake hydromorphological restoration projects in order to i) evaluate their efficiency and ii) assess physico-chemical and biological responses to different type of restoration. This monitoring based on a "Before-After-Control-Impact" design should begin 1 to 3 years before restoration and last at least 7 years afterwards, upon restored and control sites, focussing on the evolution of hydromorphology, physico-chemical parameters and biota. One of the sticking point of the project is the collaboration between researchers, lake managers and stakeholders which will be involved during all the development of the project, with constant feedbacks. Finally, this methodology is aimed to help researchers to collect standardized data, and lake managers to implement new and better projects., Les plans d'eau sont des écosystèmes caractérisés par une zone littorale présentant des habitats diversifiés concentrant une forte biodiversité. Ces milieux qui assurent de nombreux services écosystémiques subissent des perturbations physiques d'origine anthropique, particulièrement au niveau de leurs zones littorales, induisant de fortes pressions pour les communautés. Sous l'impulsion de la directive-cadre sur l'eau, beaucoup d'efforts sont entrepris pour améliorer la qualité écologique des milieux lacustres. En France de nombreuses mesures de restauration et d'atténuation des impacts anthropiques ont été initiées mais elles restent mal recensées. De plus, leur efficacité n'est, souvent, que partiellement renseignée (peu ou pas de suivis, hétérogénéité des méthodes utilisées ...). Le présent projet, développé par le pôle AFB-Irstea, vise la création d'un réseau national de plans d'eau dédié à l'évaluation de l'efficacité de ces actions. Pour cela, une méthode standardisée de suivi des actions de restauration hydromorphologique des zones littorales des plans d'eau a été développée. Ce suivi est basé sur un design de type «BACI » (Before-After-Control-Impact) c'est-à-dire avant-après restauration, au niveau du site restauré et de sites témoins. Il propose une mesure de l'évolution temporelle des compartiments hydromorphologique, physico-chimique et biologique des plans d'eau sur un pas de temps long. Des protocoles de mesures spécifiques à chaque compartiment ont été définis sur la base d'un compromis entre les exigences liées au cadre réglementaire et celles liées à l'appréciation des impacts de la restauration. Ce projet repose sur la collaboration entre chercheurs, opérateurs privés et gestionnaires, impliqués de la phase de constitution du réseau à la mise en oeuvre de la méthode. Il devrait permettre d'aider à la fois les chercheurs à mieux comprendre la dynamique des milieux lacustres et les gestionnaires à réaliser un retour d'expérience objectif de leurs actions et à définir les restaurations adaptées à un contexte donné.

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]QUASARE [ADD1_IRSTEA]Systèmes aquatiques soumis à des pressions multiples; International audience; Perch Perca fluviatilis is a widespread predator in European reservoirs, frequent in open waters but also known to spend a lot of time in the littoral zones. To get insight into how adult perch used and selected their habitat in an environment subject to water level fluctuations, 21 perch were continuously tracked using acoustic telemetry over 2 years in the Bariousses reservoir (France). The different available habitats were characterized by depth classes and substrate types, presence of emerging trees, and presence of tree stumps in the littoral zone. We showed that perch habitat preferences were strongly dependent on the season, except for substrate type, and in line with their habitat use. Surprisingly we did not find any influence of the water level which however reduced the structural complexity of the littoral zone when lowering. In spring and summer, whatever the water level, we observed a strong preference for the littoral zone and complex habitats. In autumn and winter, perch migrated into deeper waters. However, the individual variability of the habitat preferences was quite high. This type of research helps to understand the spatial ecology of fish and provides useful guidance to hydromorphological restoration for fish populations.

International audience; The complementarity of two high-resolution spatiotemporal acoustic methods, telemetry and hydroacoustics, was evaluated during the same time window to obtain fish distribution in a canyon-shaped reservoir, the Bariousses Reservoir (France). These methods act at an individual scale for telemetry and a community scale for hydroacoustics. The temporal scales are also different: telemetry offers continuous and long-term monitoring while a "snapshot" view is given by hydroacoustics. Day and night hydroacoustic surveys were carried out in this reservoir, during a 24-hour period in spring, using vertical and near-surface horizontal beaming. During this time window, 11 adult fish (length: 22-57 cm) from three species (roach, perch, and pikeperch) were tracked by telemetry. Four metrics were calculated with data collected by application of the two methods: distances to the nearest bank, distances to the tributary, fish depth, and bottom depth at the location. The contrasting (distance to the nearest bank, bottom depth) or partially similar results (distance to the tributary, fish depth) can be explained by the limitations associated with each method. The results obtained with telemetry are very sensitive to the species composition and the size of the tagged fish. The number of fish located in the epibenthic areas of the reservoir can be underestimated by hydroacoustics. This preliminary case study highlights that these methods act in a complementary way and their simultaneous use can provide better information on fish spatial distribution.

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]QUASARE [Relecteur_IRSTEA]Westrelin, S. ; Raymond, J.C. ; Dublon, J.; Lakes host a great biodiversity but supply numerous human services which can damage them in various ways. To compensate these alterations, several restoration measures are carried out. Here, we focus on hydromorphological restoration with a bibliographical review of techniques and a sketch of monitoring methods used to follow the efficiency of actions. Hydromorphological restoration in lakes gather six groups of techniques: restoration of natural water level fluctuations, reshaping of banks, reed bed restoration, restoration of bank vegetation, creation of habitats and creation or restoration of spawning grounds. This review is completed with a national survey addressed to government agencies and managers. It aims to select sites with planned restoration programs. On this basis, a network of experimental sites could be created where to standardize operational monitoring of restoration (diagnosis, definition of the experimental sites, initial state, long term monitoring, definition of compartments to monitor, definition of protocols). The survey realized in the beginning of 2016 shows the interest of managers for restoration of natural characteristics and altered functionalities of lakes. In a first step, we have selected 30 potential sites to create this network.; Les plans d'eau, qui accueillent une grande biodiversité, satisfont de nombreux usages qui causent de nombreuses altérations de ces écosystèmes. Pour compenser ces altérations, diverses restaurations sont entreprises. Nous nous concentrons sur la restauration hydromorphologique au moyen d'une analyse bibliographique recensant les techniques mises en oeuvre et ébauchons les méthodes de suivi de l'efficacité de ces opérations. La restauration hydromorphologique des habitats des plans d'eau se concentre autour de six groupes de techniques : la restauration d'un marnage naturel, le remodelage des berges, la restauration de roselières, la végétalisation des berges, la diversification des milieux par création d'habitats et la création et restauration de frayères. Cette synthèse bibliographique est complétée d'une enquête nationale auprès de diverses structures (Onema, Agences de l'eau, DREAL, gestionnaires) visant notamment à sélectionner des sites avec opérations de restauration prévues. Cela permettra ensuite de créer un réseau de sites pilotes pour y harmoniser les suivis à entreprendre de façon opérationnelle (diagnostic, définition des stations, état initial, suivi long-terme, définition des compartiments à suivre, mise à disposition des protocoles). L'enquête effectuée au printemps 2016 montre l'intérêt porté par les gestionnaires pour les plans d'eau et le rétablissement de caractéristiques naturelles et de fonctionnalités altérées. Un total de 30 sites potentiels a été présélectionné pour la création du réseau de sites pilotes.

International audience; Knowing the way individuals use their environment is crucial to undertake relevant measures of restoration or mitigation of the ecosystems they inhabit. In this study we evaluated the habitat preferences of three piscivorous species, pikeperch (Sander lucioperca), pike (Esox lucius) and perch (Perca fluviatilis), in a French reservoir impacted by water level fluctuations. Our objective was then to assess the impact of hydrological variations on these habitat preferences. Sixty adults have been monitored by acoustic telemetry for two years. By classifying each fish position either into the littoral zone or into the central zone, the intensity of use of each one was assessed. In the littoral zone, the habitat types have been described by substrate size, vegetation type, tree stumps and undercut banks. Linking the fish positions to the habitat types allowed to evaluate the habitat preferences. Our results show that seasonal variations in the intensity of use of the littoral and central zones are significant for the three species whereas these variations in littoral habitat preferences are less obvious. They highlight species-specific patterns but high individual variability. Water level fluctuations only slightly modify these main seasonal patterns by changing the availability of the different habitats.

Our objective was then to assess the impact of hydrological variations on these habitat preferences. Sixty adults have been monitored by acoustic telemetry for two years. By classifying each fish position either into the littoral zone or into the central zone, the intensity of use of each one was assessed. In the littoral zone, the habitat types have been described by substrate size, vegetation type, tree stumps and undercut banks. Linking the fish positions to the habitat types allowed to evaluate the habitat preferences. Our results show that seasonal variations in the intensity of use of the littoral and central zones are significant for the three species whereas these variations in littoral habitat preferences are less obvious. They highlight species-specific patterns but high individual variability. Water level fluctuations only slightly modify these main seasonal patterns by changing the availability of the different habitats.

144ème réunion annuelle de l'American Fisheries Society, Québec, CAN, 17-/08/2014 - 21/08/2014; International audience; Acoustic fixed telemetry monitoring allows to track aquatic animals over large areas during long periods Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca), Pike (Esox lucius) and Perch (Perca fluviatilis), 3 piscivorous species, are often together in the European reservoirs. Our objective was to study the activity patterns of these species and temporal variability of the activity according to environmental parameters in order to better understand how they live together.The 3 piscivorous species have been monitored in a French reservoir (80 ha) with the VEMCO Positioning System (VPS-40 hydrophones) during two years (2012-2013). First the evaluation of the performances of the VPS system was assessed to get the main characteristics of our tracking system Then, the activity of 60 individuals has been described with two metrics, minimum moved distance (daily and hourly) and home range (daily and seasonal). During the day, the diel activity patterns of the 3 species were clearly different but a high variability was observed between individuals Moreover, activity patterns were different between seasons but all species were active in winter Finally, the metrics used to describe the activity were correlated positively with water temperature for perch and pikeperch, but not for pike

Perch
Perca fluviatilis is a widespread predator in European reservoirs, frequent in open waters but also known to spend a lot of time in the littoral zones. To get insight into how adult perch used and selected their habitat in an environment subject to water-level (WL) fluctuations, 21 perch were continuously tracked using acoustic telemetry over 2 years in the Bariousses Reservoir (France). The different available habitats were characterized by depth classes and substrate types, presence of emerging trees and presence of tree stumps in the littoral zone. We showed that perch habitat preferences were strongly dependent on the season, except for substrate type, and in line with their habitat use. Surprisingly we did not find any influence of the WL which, however, reduced the structural complexity of the littoral zone when lowering. In spring and summer, whatever the WL, we observed a strong preference for the littoral zone and complex habitats. In autumn and winter, perch migrated into deeper waters. However, the individual variability of the habitat preferences was quite high. This type of research helps to understand the spatial ecology of fish and provides useful guidance to hydromorphological restoration for fish populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

ERAD 2012 7th European Conference on Radar in Meteorology and Hydrology, Toulouse, FRA, 25-/06/2012 - 29/06/2012; International audience; In most cases, natural hazards encountered in mountainous regions are largely dependent on precipitations : flash floods, debris flows, landslides, rockfalls, snow avalanches and forest fires. To better understand the occurrence of these hazards and to prevent populations from their dangers, the knowledge of rainfall quantities at high temporal and spatial resolution iscrucial. While the rain-gauge network is not dense enough to capture all the variability of precipitations, especially in rugged regions, radars can be very efficient. However, to install them in mountains as well as to retrieve real-time useful information remains a big challenge. To improve this radar information to elaborate warning services useful for the management of natural risks is another one. South-East of France is a mountainous region both very exposed to natural hazards and not well covered by radar measurements. In this context, the “RHYTMME” project (Westrelin & al, 2010 ; Mériaux & al, 2011) began in 2008 with the following main aims, both from research and operational objective:• to provide an accurate radar rainfall information in mountainous areas ;• to develop a real-time hazards warning system based on this information.The present paper gives an overview of the main achievements of the project in mid 2012.

National audience; The 1000 municipalities in the region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur are exposed to at least one of the five following hazards: flash floods, mudslides, landslides, avalanches and forest fires. In the three departments of this mountain region (Alpes de Haute Provence, Hautes Alpes and Alpes Maritimes), a hundred of them is exposed to five. The occurrence and intensity of these fluctuations depend more or less directly on the quantity and nature of precipitation. However, in the French Alps, the visibility of the radar national network ARAMIS is considerably reduced by the masking effects of terrain, clutter and altitude of the beam. Accordingly, there is a poor quality for the estimated rainfall. In this context, the project RHYTMME jointly run by Météo-France and Cemagref, provides: - To supplement the existing radar network by new technology radar deployment (radar Doppler polarimetric X-band) in the Southern Alps; - To develop downstream of this network, a service platform to manage natural hydrometeorological risks, especially in the mountains. This article presents the strategy adopted to improve radar coverage in the Southern Alps and relates an example obtained by a first X-band radar information (radar Hydrix) already in service in the Maritime Alps.; Les quelques 1000 communes de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur sont exposées à au moins l'un des cinq aléas suivants : crues éclairs, laves torrentielles, mouvements de terrain, avalanches et feux de forêts. Dans les trois départements de montagne de cette région (Alpes de Haute Provence, Hautes Alpes et Alpes Maritimes), une centaine d'entre elles est exposée aux cinq. L'occurrence et l'intensité de ces aléas dépendent plus ou moins directement de la quantité et de la nature des précipitations. Or, sur l'arc alpin français, la visibilité des radars du réseau national ARAMIS est considérablement réduite par les effets de masque du relief, d'échos fixes et d'altitude du faisceau. En conséquence, l'estimation des cumuls de pluie y est de qualité médiocre. Dans ce contexte, le projet RHYTMME, piloté conjointement par Météo-France et le Cemagref, prévoit : - de compléter le réseau de radars existant par le déploiement dans les Alpes du Sud de radars de nouvelle technologie (radars Doppler polarimétriques en bande X) ; - de développer, en aval de ce réseau, une plateforme de services d'aide à la gestion des risques naturels hydrométéorologiques, notamment en montagne. Cet article présente la stratégie adoptée pour améliorer la couverture radar dans les Alpes du sud et rapporte un exemple d'observation de phénomène torrentiel permise par un premier radar en bande X (radar Hydrix) déjà en service dans les Alpes Maritimes.
