Hugo Peyre

Hugo Peyre is a Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Montpellier University Hospital and an associated member of the Laboratory of Cognitive Sciences and Psycholinguistics. His work spans interdisciplinary research in oceanography, atmospheric science, and climate dynamics.

Research Interests

Peyre's research focuses on:

• Ocean surface turbulence and Lagrangian dispersion mechanisms
• Atmospheric response to sea surface temperature anomalies
• Submesoscale and mesoscale ocean-atmosphere interactions
• Stratospheric plume dynamics from wildfires and volcanic eruptions
• Geophysical fluid dynamics and baroclinic instabilities
• Three-dimensional ocean current reconstruction from surface data

Publication Trends

His recent articles (2025-2021) emphasize nonlinear dynamics in oceanic and atmospheric systems, with a focus on Lagrangian transport, internal wave interactions, and climate-scale feedback mechanisms. Key topics include the role of ageostrophic motions in turbulence predictability, stratospheric vortex behavior, and satellite-based ocean-atmosphere modeling using SWOT mission data.
