Optimal interpolation : CANARI (2002)
Article published on December 2002
last modification on 10 November 2005

CANARI est the acronym of :

  • Code d’Analyse Nécessaire àArpege pour ses Rejets et son Initialisation
  • Code for the Analysis Necessary for Arpege for its Rejects and its Initiamization

CANARI is a software which performs an optimum interpolation analysis for any variable of the meteorological forecast model ARPEGE/ALADIN.

It runs operationally in Meteo-France to initialize the surface variables of the model only since the upperair variables are updated by the 4D-var analysis.

A technival documentation is available to allow you to use and to understand CANARI :
