A second call for candidacies will be published for the partial selection of new candidates in autumn 2000.
The next ALATNET training course will be held in Toulouse next spring. It won't be devoted to basic training as initially scheduled, since this is now more or less achieved by each NMS. A topic could be data assimilation, as expressed during the debriefing in Radostovice, for instance, but it is only one option. Each ALADIN team is invited to express its own wishes so as to help defining what would be most useful.
It will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on November 6-8, 2000 : all informations on http://www.meteo.oma.be/IRM-KMI/aladin/welcome_aladin2000.html . including announcements, instructions to authors (deadline for receiving the abstracts is end of August), ...
Proposed subjects are :

It will take place in Vienna on November 24th, 2000 with the crucial question of the MoU renewal on the table.
The 10th ALADIN workshop, dedicated to scientific coordination, will be held in Toulouse (France) next spring. It will be organized just after or just before the next ALATNET training course, as an attempt to reduce travel costs and thus enable a contribution of more partners.
The EWGLAM/SRNWP joined meetings, Météo-France/Toulouse, 9-13th October, 2000 (informations available on http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/aladin/ewglam2000/ or contact ewglam2000meteo.fr). Deadline for registration was mid-July. In case you plan to attend and you have not registered yet, please do it as soon as possible.
Usual sessions will deal with :
This year, other sessions of these meetings will also be dedicated to the Mesoscale Alpine Project (MAP Session, invited speakers only) and to the 2nd SRNWP/EUMETNET Composite Observing System (EUCOS ) Meeting on December 99 storms.
Considering the added MAP and EUCOS sessions, the 2000 schedule proposed is slightly different from those of the previous years, the EWGLAM and SRNWP sessions being more interwoven.
The representatives are, of course, welcome during the whole week and could attend all sessions of these meetings.
This workshop will be held 4-6 December 2000 in Vienna, at the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG). It is intended to provide an open forum for discussing current methods and results of Statistical Adaptation in NWP, with emphasis on short-range forecasting. Contributions from both theory and application, including 'classical' methods like Model Output Statistics (MOS), Perfect-Prog Method (PPM), Kalman filter are welcome as well as combined physical / statistical approaches, and more recent developments such as neural networks or genetic algorithms.
In addition to scientific discussion and exchange, one purpose of this workshop is to provide an assessment of the current state-of-the-art in optimizing direct model output by statistical means. Such an assessment is considered important (1) as a basis for deciding on priorities in further research in this field and (2) to obtain an updated view on what improvements of forecast quality due to Statistical Adaptation can be expected in the near future.
A preliminary program, registration, hotel and general information will be posted on the ZAMG homepage (http://www.zamg.ac.at ). For informations, please contact klaus.stadlbacher++at++zamg.ac.at or thomas.haiden++at++zamg.ac.at.
The 15th Ateliers de Modélisation de l'Atmosphère will be held in Toulouse on 29-30/11/2000. This is THE French and French speaking mass event devoted to french atmosphere / ocean science, held every year in France only, with mainly French and French speaking participants. This year's topic is data assimilation, with some emphasis also on LAM models. This will deserve to make our work in ALADIN better known at CNRM.
The presentations will be shared between :
There will be at least 3 ALADIN contributions :
For more details, contact Claude Fischer (Claude.Fischer++at++meteo.fr ), or have a glance at http://www.cnrm.meteo.fr/ama2000/).
The first day of the annual COSMO meeting (27-29 September 2000, Zurich, CH) will be devoted to "Next generation numerics".
Participation (with or without contribution) can already be announced to the Local Organiser, Jacques.Ambuehl++at++meteoschweiz.ch
