Abstract:

This documentation has the aim to give a general overview of the library architecture ARPEGE/IFS, ALADIN and AROME models. Information will be given about an historical overview of the most important code rewritings, and about the dependencies between the different sub-projects.

RESUME:

CETTE DOCUMENTATION A POUR BUT DE DONNER UN APERCU GENERAL DE L’ARCHITECTURE DES LIBRAIRIES CONTENANT LES CODES D’ARPEGE/IFS, ALADIN ET AROME. ON FERA UN RAPPEL HISTORIQUE DES PRINCIPALES REECRITURES DE CODE QUI SONT INTERVENUES DANS LE CODE, ET ON FERA UNE DESCRIPTION DES DEPENDANCES ENTRE LES DIFFERENTS SOUS-PROJETS.
