Plots of experimental AROME 1.3 km

Friday 11 January 2013, by Patricia

Some experimental AROME configurations were daily run at 1.3 km and 2.5km.
This experimentation has been stopped and will be replaced by runs of AROME High-Resolution with assimilation.
More details when these runs are available.

About the former 1.3km and 2.5km experimental runs :

They are initialized and coupled with operational AROME-France (2.5 km).

Two different vertical discretization are being tested : L90BB (a simple extrapolation of the operational 60 levels discretization on 90 levels) and L90BE (also 90 levels but with a better resolution the lower layers).

Orography at 2.5 km
Orography at 1.3 km (experimental AROME)
Vertical discretization : L60, L90BB; L90BE

The plots of some parameters forecasted by 4 AROME configurations are available here (password required for non-Meteo/France access) for research purposes only (there is no garanty of the quality nor the availability of these plots). 4 plots are proposed for each parameter, for ranges from 01 to 24H, with a possibility to animate the hourly plots (click on "animate").
