  AROME is a Météo-France project aiming to design a NWP LAM of very high resolution (2-3 km) within 2010, "as far as possible in cooperation with ALADIN partners". The ALADIN non-hydrostatic dynamics (and the ALADIN source code) was chosen as the starting point for AROME. A report, issued from CSSI discussions, was sent to Directors and a dedicated scientific+political workshop has been organized in Prague (11-12 April 2003). Preparatory documents, presentations and agenda Preparatory (…)

• the ALADINthèque : stay reports until 2000

  15 January 2003, by Patricia
  In 2000, a major effort had been made to collect and synthesize the ALADIN documentation available in paper format in Toulouse. Many notes, papers and reports have been compiled (documents until 2000), with an abstract for each. This collection, the so-called ALADINthèque in French, provides a bibliographical support for all the developers in Toulouse and elsewhere. It might be also a useful starting point for a future computer database, though the text files themselves have not been (…)
