First Announcement (December 2009)

Purpose:

To spread knowledge about the ALARO to a wider ALADIN/LACE/HARMONIE community, to discuss and start actions for the further development.

Participants:
ALADIN, LACE and HIRLAM participants, who are a prepared to contribute to the further development and to use in local applications.

Tentative program:

  •  introduction with an overview
  •  evaluation of ALARO-0 (local experiences, reporting the current implementations,...)
  •  ALARO-1 overview of current developments ((moist) turbulence and diffusive transport, radiative and radiative-cloud issues, condensation/evaporation associated processes  (including deep convection) ...)
  •  exercise session (on namelist handling, phasing problems)
  •  future issues about modularity
  •  discussion
