This Sixth ALADIN Workshop took place at the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology in Bucarest and was entitled "Scientific development and new applications of the numerical weather prediction model ALADIN".
Model features, significant changes during the last period and model verification in Toulouse were first presented.
Presentations of different applications of ALADIN in Romania were given then : urban modelisation, .transport of pollutants (with MEDIA model), marine meteorology with the comparison of two waves models (WAM from Max-Planck-Institut of Hambourg and VAGROM from Météo-France), ...
Some results of subjective and objective verifications were shown.
During a round-table discussions on scientific plan, recommendations for coordinators were proposed (see "Main events 1.").
The last day round-table discussions dealed with :
The 22nd EWGLAM & 7th SRNWP meetings will take place in Bratislava on October 11-15, 1999. The official invitations will be sent soon.

It has become a tradition that the community of the users of the numerical weather prediction model ALADIN meets regularly and presents the last progress of the model use and exploitation.
It was proved that exchange of experiences and presentations on the various implementations of ALADIN products in operational environments are of great use for planning and organisation of related activities in national services.
The above list of potential topics should be considered as a proposal.
- MAP and ALADIN
ALADIN was choosen as one of the LAM models for the support of MAP (Mesoscale Alpine Experiment) field phase, so called SOP (Special Observing Period), from Sep. till mid-Nov. 1999. Visualized products of ALADIN/LACE will be available at MAP servers in order to be used by involved forecasters, scientists and measuring mission planners.
- short term perspectives: use of ALADIN within the field experiment; planned MAP IOPs case studies; etc.
- long term perspectives: how to use MAP experience to improve the model; etc.
- CANARI
Potential use of package (diag.pack under development) for the analysis, diagnostics and nowcasting purposes:
- Analysis and diagnosics expectations from bench forecasters
- Experiences with use of derived quantities
- Use in nowcasting process
- etc.
- Applications of ALADIN on:
Weather Forecasting
Aviation Meteorology
Mountain Meteorology
Hydrology
etc.
- Model verification, methods and results
Abstracts should be received till end of June 1999. Instructions to Authors are available on the Web page of the meeting.

The next Assembly of the ALADIN Partners will take place in Lisbonn on Monday 22nd of November 1999. An invitation has been sent to the directors of all NMSs involved in the ALADIN project : the proposed date was 15th of November. This date had to be changed because of the 7th ALADIN Workshop. A second letter will be send to the directors with this new date.
For additional information please contact: mario.almeida++at++meteo.pt
This year, the main topics of the A.M.A. will be "Modèles". A "call for contributions" will be sent very soon within the French speakers community (communications and posters will be in French)
More details on request by writing to : ama99++at++meteo.fr .
The third International SRNWP Workshop on Non-Hydrostatic modelling in Offenbach (25-27th of October, 1999) will focus on "Data assimilation for fine mesh models".
Please contact j
steppeler++at++dwd.d400.de
or claude.fischer++at++meteo.fr
who will attend the workshop.
Next forecaster workshop will take place in Ljubljana on 17th-19th of November 1999 (see 3.).
During last ALADIN workshop in Bucarest, next modeller meeting was proposed to be held in Poland by M. Jerczynski (February-April 2000). Belgium also has candidated and could organize then the next forecaster meeting (presumably in fall 2000).
