ALADIN/CE configuration

• LACE domain (309x277 grid points,linear
  truncation E159x143, ?x9km)
• 43 vertical levels, mean orography
• time step 360 s
• digital filter spectral blending longcut-off
  cycle (6h cycle, filtering at truncation E47x42,
  no DFI in the next 6h guess integration)
• digital filter blending incremental DFI

ALADIN/CE configuration

• 3h coupling interval
• ARPEGE/ALADIN cycle 28T3
• 00 and 12 UTC forecast to 54h
• 06 and 18 UTC forecast to 24h
• hourly on-line fullpos
• post-processing of near-surface parameters into
  selected localitiesusing obs-operators of OI

5
Other tools

• hourly DIAGPACK analysis of T2m, RH2m, v10m,
  KO-index, CAPE, MOCON (SYNOP observations)
• verification package based on cycle AL12 (AL28
  in validation)
• monitoring of SYNOP and TEMP observation based
  on OI quality control

• NEW DOMAIN
• 589x309 grid points ? 256x200 grid points
• 299x159 linear truncation ? 127x99 linear
  truncation
• 9.5 km resolution

Future plans and planned changes
OI surface analysis based on SYNOP data replacing
the surface blending
Interactive computation of mixing length based on
PBL diagnostics after Ayotte and Tudor
temperature RMSE
relative humidity RMSE
