ALADIN. HIRLAM Agreement : Appendix 1 2 December 2014
ALADIN and XXXXXX will carry out : • joint research and development activities, on the basis of the ALADIN and HIRLAM Strategic Plans and related Work Plans, • the necessary scientific and technical studies to define and maintain the shared ALADIN- HIRLAM System and its Canonical Model Configurations (the definitions of the CMC will be monitored by the ALADIN and HIRLAM PMs, the HMG and the CSSI), • general maintenance of the codes necessary to operate the shared ALADIN-HIRLAM System (phasing of all code libraries) in an ALADIN-HIRLAM common repository, • Sharing scientific results, numerical codes, operational environments, related expertise and know-how.
ALADIN. HIRLAM Agreement : Appendix 2 Conditions for use of the shared ALADIN-HIRLAM System, or parts thereof, for scientific or technical non-commercial research purposes by users not Members of either the ALADIN or HIRLAM Consortia
ALADIN. Hence this definition does not encompass ancillary external pre- or post-processing tools. If necessary (perhaps soon in the case of remote sensed data pre-processing) an amendment to the present MoU could enlarge the above definition of the code. The use of the ARPEGE(IFS)/ALADINcode is reserved (free of charge) to those Partners and in any case it cannot be sold to any third party. Through a software agreement about to be signed with Météo-France (concerning the access to and use of the IFS/ARPEGE software and appended «E») ECMWF grants access to the whole of the IFS/ARPEGE software (including the «strategic» parts listed in Annex 2 of the mentioned agreement) for all ALADIN Partners, provided this access will not be used by ALADIN non ECMWFMember- or Co-operating-States to run routinely a global model/data assimilation system. An invitation to ECMWF to attend as observer the Assembly of Partners and an exchange with ECMWF in terms of scientific results (for all ALADIN Partnersand via Météo-France) are implied. Under all these conditions, there is no restricted access to any part of the ALADIN software for any Partner. In other words: «Un pour tous, tous pour un» !
ALADIN. Limited-area NWP model
ALADIN. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
ALADIN. Limited-area NWP model ALP-IMP: Multi-centennial climate variability in the Alps based on Instrumental data, Model simulations and Proxy data AMDAR: Aircraft Meteorological Data Relay AOPC: Atmospheric Observation Panel for Climate (part of GCOS) AROME: High resolution model of Météo France ARPEGE-IFS: atmospheric model developed jointly by Météo France and ECMWF ATOVS: Advanced TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder BALTEX: Baltic Sea Experiment BSRN: Baseline Surface Radiation Network CarboEurope: Assessment of the European Terrestrial Carbon Balance CCl: Commission for Climatology (of WMO) CECILIA: Central and Eastern Europe Climate Change Impact and Vulnerability Assessment (EU-project) CIB: Climate Indicator Bulletin (part of EURO4M)
ALADIN. = Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développement InterNational: the limited area version of ARPEGE.
ALADIN. SYSTEM = The software of the ALADIN system encompasses (i) for access and protection rules, the union of the IFS/ARPEGE and ALADIN libraries at all existing Cycles and (ii) for use rules, the strict limitation of the former to the parts necessary to run existing ALADIN configurations (1, 701, 923 and 927 from the operational point of view and 2, 131, 401, 501, 601 and 801 from the research point of view at the time of the signing of the second MoU). While the applications based on this second definition of the software may have different names, the main body (code, system or model) must always be referred to as "ALADIN". Partners = The NMS signatories of this MoU (also designated in some places of this MoU by "Full Members"). SRNWP = Short Range Numerical Weather Prediction network: EUMETNET encompasses a SRNWP- Coordination programme that aims at promoting common actions between the four relevant groups at the European level (ALADIN-COSMO-HIRLAM-UM) on various high-resolution NWP issues. ALATNET = ALAdin research and Training NETwork: this network, based on five of the ALADIN RC-LACE = Regional Centre - Limited Area modelling for Central Europe: the common endeavour of six NMS of Central Europe (At, Cz, Hr, Hu, Si, Sk) that put together some of their manpower, technical and financial resources for research and operational common activities inside the ALADIN ensemble. SELAM = South-East european Limited Area Modelling: an agreement between three NMS of South-East Europe (Bg, Md, Ro) to coordinate their NWP actions inside the ALADIN Project, especially for technical issues.
ALADIN. Partners agree in principle to abide by the relevant rules of ECOMET concerning commercial use of Products and Services based on operational use of the ALADIN software, in particular as regards the adoption of common guidelines concerning the pricing policy, more details being set in Appendix "D". More generally, all ALADIN operational products exchanged internationally outside the European Union are considered as additional products in reference with the Resolution 40 of WMO Congress XII, and thus submitted to the conditions agreed in common listed in Appendix "B", and taking into account Paragraph
