Résumé : International audience
We study the geometrical properties of the subgroups of the multiplicative group of a finite extension of a finite field endowed with its vector space structure, and we show that in some cases the associated projective space has a natural groupe structure. We construct some cyclic codes related to Reed-Muller codes by evaluating polynomials on these subgroups. The geometrical properties of these groups give a fairly simple description of these codes of the Reed-Muller kind.

Résumé : International audience
The Heliosat-II method was developed to process Meteosat satellite images in order to assess the solar irradiation at surface. It is modified for its use with GOES satellite images in order to estimate the solar irradiation over French Guiana.Modifications include a change in the calibration formula, in the calculation of the cloud albedo, and in the values of the Linke turbidity factor. These modifications allow the improvement of the performances of the Heliosat-II model in Intertropical zones in French Guiana. The outcomes were compared to coincident measurements of hourly irradiation performed by ground stations.The results show that the use of the maximum apparent albedo as the cloud albedo (ρcmax), along with a fixed value of the Linke turbidity factor produces the best results; the bias was less than 23.61 Wh/m2 (5% of the mean value of the measurements) overall, and the RMSE was less than 109.39 W/m2 (24%) overall when using hourly values. In the case of daily means, the RMSE drops to less than 10.08 W/m2 (10%) overall, whereas the overall bias remains unchanged, as expected. The model performs better in clear skies than in cloudy skies. The results suggest that the Linke turbidity factor used in the Heliosat-II method does not reproduce well the attenuation of the solar radiation in French Guiana. The results were compared to those obtained from Heliosat II method and Meteosat images (HelioClim-3 database) and we found a better accuracy for GOES satellite data, which exhibits smaller viewing angle. The use of the Heliosat II method with GOES images allows assessment of the SSI with a good accuracy and high temporal and spatial resolutions.

Résumé : International audience
Measurements of daily means of surface solar irradiance made at four ground stations in French Guiana are compared to estimates from the HelioClim-3 database produced by the Heliosat-2 method applied to Meteosat satellite images. The bias ranges from 12 W m−2 (6% of the mean of measurements) to 23 W m−2 (12%), depending on the stations. The root mean square difference ranges between 23 W m−2 (11%) and 35 W m−2 (18%). The correlation coefficient (r) is close to 0.9. Better results are observed during the rainy season than during the dry season. Uncertainties are mainly due to the presence of clouds, large viewing angles of the Meteosat satellite, and limitations of the atmospheric transmittance model under the tropical atmospheric conditions. It is concluded that the Heliosat-2 method provides new knowledge about solar radiation in French Guiana.
