On the evolution of the concept of probability as a mirror of the evolution of reason
Jean-Louis Le Mouël, Vincent Courtillot, Dominique Gibert +6
Over the centuries, probability theory has grown from the calculus of games of chance into a central framework for reasoning under uncertainty. This article interprets that evoluti…
On the external forcing of global eruptive activity in the past 300 years
J-L. Le Mouël, D. Gibert, V. Courtillot +11
The decryption of the temporal sequence of volcanic eruptions is a key step in better anticipating future events. Volcanic activity is the result of a complex interaction between i…
Is the Earth's magnetic field a constant ? a legacy of Poisson
J-L. Le Mouël, F. Lopes, V. Courtillot +2
In the report he submitted to the Académie des Sciences, Poisson imagined a set of concentric spheres at the origin of the Earth's magnetic field. It may come as a surprise to many…
On the Nature and Origin of Atmospheric Annual and Semi-annual Oscillations
V. Courtillot, J-L. Le Mouël, F. Lopes +1
This paper proposes a joint analysis of variations of global sea-level pressure and of Earth's rotation (RP), expressed as the coordinates of the rotation pole and length of day. S…
On the annual and semi-annual components of variations in extent of Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice
F. Lopes, V. Courtillot, D. Gibert +1
The time series of northern hemisphere (NHSI) and southern hemisphere (SHSI) sea-ice extent are submitted to singular spectral analysis (SSA). The components are analyzed with Lapl…
On Sea-Level Change in Coastal Areas
V. Courtillot, JL. Le Mouël, F. Lopes
Variations in sea-level, based on tide gauge data (GSLTG) and on combining tide gauges and satellite data (GSLl) are subjected to singular spectrum analysis (SSA), to determine the…
Triskels and Symmetries of Mean Global Sea-Level Pressure
F. Lopes, V. Courtillot, J-L. Le Mouël
The evolution of mean sea-level atmospheric pressure since 1850 is analyzed using singular spectrum analysis. Maps of the main components (the trends) reveal striking symmetries of…
On two formulations of polar motion and identification of its sources
F. Lopes, V. Courtillot, JL. Le Mouël +1
Differences in interpretation may arise from differences in formulation of the equations of celestial mechanics. This paper focuses on the Liouville system of differential equation…
