ALARO


 

 

Events

 

ALARO-1 working days , Hungarian Meteorological Service, Budapest, 16-19 February 2010
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

 

Workshop on concepts for convective parameterisations in large-scale models II: "Entrainment and Detrainment in Convective Plumes" - Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, 25-27 March 2009
