Within ALADIN and HIRLAM Consortia, the 3 CMCs (ALARO, AROME, HARMONIE-AROME) and the ALADIN configuration run operationally on a wide range of computers, from single workstations to vectorial computers in shared or distributed memory, and on a cluster of workstations under Linux.

 53 operational configurations in short

The table in the joint document summarizes the main data of the 53 main configurations operational in ALADIN/HIRLAM.

 Details on the operational configurations

Additional details can be found on the links below :

• Details on hardware platforms for operational and post-processing suite.
• Main forecast domains : characteristics and map of each domain and characteristics of the telecom domains

• Main models characteristics
• Post-processing domains
• Other local domains
• Vertical discretization : Vertical levels used in operational systems and their standard atmosphere heights
