Le climat urbain de Nice en milieu géographique contrasté : synthèse par approche inductive
The urban climate of Nice (France) in a context of contrasted topography: synthesis using an inductive approach
Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis, Equipe GVE-UMR ESPACE, 98 bd E. Herriot, 06204 Nice cedex 3 – France
Synthèse de 30 années de mesures diverses (surface, air à 2 m sur sol, air au-dessus de la ville) dans une approche inductive débouchant sur une modélisation statistique, cet article montre à quel point le climat urbain de la ville de Nice est conditionné par les mécanismes topoclimatiques, liés à la ville, mais aussi au relief et au contact terre-mer. Le régime de brises thermiques, presque tyrannique, contrôle les variables climatiques et influence donc fortement la vie des citadins niçois, en dessinant des contrastes climatiques spatiaux à l’intérieur de la ville.
Abstract
As a 30 years various measurements synthesis (ground surface, air at 2m high, airflow above the town) this paper is related with an inductive approach, leading into a statistical modeling. It shows that the urban climate of Nice is conditionned by topoclimatic mecanisms, linked to the town but also to relief and sea-land interface. The thermal breezes regime, almost tyrannical, controls climatic variables, and therefore influences strongly urban people life, drawing spatial climatic contrasts inside the town.
