HARMONIE-AROME

This model is the result of collaboration between the HIRLAM and ALADIN consortia. The HIRLAM Consortium is made up of the Meteorological Services of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden, with France as an associate member. The ALADIN consortium is made up of Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Tunisia and Turkey.

It is a limited area mesoscale model that allows convection with a horizontal resolution of 2.5 km and a maximum range of 48 hours, using as boundary conditions outputs from the CEPPM HRES-IFS model. It incorporates non-hydrostatic dynamics.
