Deported developments during the second quarter of 1999

The Deported ALADIN effort (in person.month or considering the number of people involved in ALADIN) remained equivalent to the one of the previous quarters.

However, a change occurred in one of the ALADIN NMSs : the Croatian NWP modeling group has been reorganized with a new head of group Mrs. Alica Bajic. Mrs. Bajic is also the contact person of MHSC for the ALADIN community. Welcome to Alica and her new team !...
