    L'une des caractéristiques des systèmes d'upwellings côtiers est la présence la présence de structures méso-échelles que la littérature appelle des "filaments d'upwelling", des extensions vers le large de masses d'eaux issues de l'upwelling. Ces filaments impactent la structure des communautés planctoniques, dont les larves de petits poissons pélagiques, considérées comme traceurs biologiques des filaments d’upwelling. Sur la côte Atlantique marocaine, le plus important de ces filaments est celui du Cap Ghir. Le présent travail présente une étude des caractéristiques hydrologiques et du plancton entreprise dans la région du Cap Ghir (31°N) à travers cinq campagnes océanographiques réalisées durant la période 2008-2009. L'analyse des mesures de température, salinité et de concentration de chlorophylle a montre une variabilité spatio-temporelle de la direction de la dérive des eaux d'upwelling vers le large, qui amène ces eaux alternativement au nord ou au sud du 31ème parallèle nord. Cette variabilité observée in situ, est confirmée par l'analyse des images satellites relatives aussi bien à la SST qu'à la couleur d'eau de mer. Sur le plan biologique, l'impact des filaments d'upwelling est étudié à travers la distribution des larves de sardines et d'anchois collectées dans la zone du Cap Ghir. Ainsi, la répartition des tailles moyennes pondérées de ces larves montre un transport vers le large selon un schéma de circulation vers le nord et le sud de la zone côtière d'upwelling

    The Canary Upwelling System (CUS), a major eastern boundary upwelling system, sustains large crossborder fisheries of small pelagic fish, which poses the question of stock connectivity. Studies suggest that ichthyoplankton transport from the northwest African coast to the Canary Islands (CI) is facilitated by coastal- upwelling associated filaments. Here we analyze connections between larval supply to the CI and sardine and anchovy populations that spawn over the continental shelf. For both species, ichthyoplankton observations (1) at the shelf and (2) near the island of Gran Canaria (GC) are used. Predictions of ichthyoplankton transport to GC are obtained from the Ichthyop Lagrangian transport model, which is forced by a high-resolution hydrodynamic model (ROMS) that reproduces the regional circulation. Results show that upwelling filaments play an important role in the transport of larvae to GC. However, (1) filaments are not the only mechanism, and (2) filament presence does not necessarily imply larval transport. Anchovy and sardine larval presence at GC appears to be independent of the respective adult spawning seasonality. Combining of observed and modeled data does not succeed in reproducing the observed larval patterns at GC. Various hypotheses are proposed to explain this discrepancy in larval transport to GC

    All-sky Search for High-Energy Neutrinos from Gravitational Wave Event GW170104 with the ANTARES Neutrino Telescope

    Full text link
    Advanced LIGO detected a significant gravitational wave signal (GW170104) originating from the coalescence of two black holes during the second observation run on January 4th^{\textrm{th}}, 2017. An all-sky high-energy neutrino follow-up search has been made using data from the ANTARES neutrino telescope, including both upgoing and downgoing events in two separate analyses. No neutrino candidates were found within ±500\pm500 s around the GW event time nor any time clustering of events over an extended time window of ±3\pm3 months. The non-detection is used to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission from GW170104 to less than 4×1054\sim4\times 10^{54} erg for a E2E^{-2} spectrum

    All-flavor Search for a Diffuse Flux of Cosmic Neutrinos with Nine Years of ANTARES Data

    [EN] The ANTARES detector is at present the most sensitive neutrino telescope in the northern hemisphere. The highly signi¿cant cosmic neutrino excess observed by the Antarctic IceCube detector can be studied with ANTARES, exploiting its complementing ¿eld of view, exposure, and lower energy threshold. Searches for an all-¿avor diffuse neutrino signal, covering nine years of ANTARES data taking, are presented in this Letter. Upward-going events are used to reduce the atmospheric muon background. This work includes for the ¿rst time in ANTARES both track-like (mainly nm) and shower-like (mainly ne) events in this kind of analysis. Track-like events allow for an increase of the effective volume of the detector thanks to the long path traveled by muons in rock and/or sea water. Shower-like events are well reconstructed only when the neutrino interaction vertex is close to, or inside, the instrumented volume. A mild excess of high-energy events over the expected background is observed in nine years of ANTARES data in both samples. The best ¿t for a single power-law cosmic neutrino spectrum, in terms of per-¿avor ¿ux at 100 TeV, is (1.7+-1.0)10-18 GeV¿1 cm¿2 s¿1 sr¿1 with spectral index G=2.4+0.5-0.4. The null cosmic ¿ux assumption is rejected with a signi¿cance of 1.6¿.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), IdEx program and UnivEarthS Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cite (ANR-10-LABX-0023 and ANR-11-IDEX-0005-02), Labex OCEVU (ANR-11-LABX-0060) and the A*MIDEX project (ANR-11-IDEX-0001-02), Region Ile-de-France (DIM-ACAV), Region Alsace (contrat CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO): Plan Estatal de Investigacion (refs.

    The cosmic ray shadow of the Moon observed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

    [EN] One of the main objectives of the ANTARES telescope is the search for point-like neutrino sources. Both the pointing accuracy and the angular resolution of the detector are important in this context and a reliable way to evaluate this performance is needed. In order to measure the pointing accuracy of the detector, one possibility is to study the shadow of the Moon, i.e. the de¿cit of the atmospheric muon ¿ux from the direction of the Moon induced by the absorption of cosmic rays. Analysing the data taken between 2007 and 2016, the Moon shadow is observed with 3.5¿ statistical signi¿cance. The detector angular resolution for downward-going muons is 0.73¿ ±0.14¿. The resulting pointing performance is consistent with the expectations. An independent check of the telescope pointing accuracy is realised with the data collected by a shower array detector onboard of a ship temporarily moving around the ANTARES location.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), IdEx program and UnivEarthS Labex program at Sorbonne Paris Cite (ANR-10-LABX-0023 and ANR-11-IDEX-0005-02), Labex OCEVU (ANR-11-LABX-0060) and the A*MIDEX project (ANR-11-IDEX-0001-02), Region Ile-de-France (DIM-ACAV), Region Alsace (contrat CPER), Region Provence-Allies-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fin Bildung and Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Naziona-le di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINE-CO): Plan Estatal de Investigacion (refs.

    Observation of the cosmic ray shadow of the Sun with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

    Get PDF
    [EN] The ANTARES detector is an undersea neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The search for pointlike neutrino sources is one of the main goals of the ANTARES telescope, requiring a reliable method to evaluate the detector angular resolution and pointing accuracy. This work describes the study of the Sun ¿shadow¿ effect with the ANTARES detector. The shadow is the deficit in the atmospheric muon flux in the direction of the Sun caused by the absorption of the primary cosmic rays. This analysis is based on the data collected between 2008 and 2017 by the ANTARES telescope. The observed statistical significance of the Sun shadow detection is 3.7¿, with an estimated angular resolution of 0.59° +- 0.10°for downward-going muons. The pointing accuracy is found to be consistent with the expectations and no evidence of systematic pointing shifts is observed.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Commissariat `a l'' energie atomique et aux energies alternatives, Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Institut Universitaire de France, LabEx UnivEarthS (ANR-10-LABX-0023 and ANR-18-IDEX-0001), R ' egion Ile-de-France (DIM-ACAV), Region Alsace (contract CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departement du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung, Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Italy; Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for Young Scientists and Leading Scientific Schools supporting grants, Russia; Executive Unit for Financing Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation (UEFISCDI), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion, Investigacion y Universidades (MCIU): Programa Estatal de Generacion de Conocimiento (refs.
