Projects 2008-2010

The results of LACE Projects have been elaborated at original scientific papers :

One PhD theses on Turbulence , implemented at ALARO physics

twenty two scientific papers published in journals of AMS (American Meteorological Society) and RMetS (Royal Meteorological Society), for example, Bull. Ame. Meteor. Soc., Mon. Wea. Rev., Tellus A, and Q. J. R. Meteorol. S. , etc.

The technical memos and the progress reports have been issued at LACE WEB page www.rclace.eu and ALADIN Newsletters.

Projects 2008-2010

The total means dedicated to the projects :

total of 267 person.months (p.m) of coordinated work on Projects have been fulfilled.

Part of work was executed as R&D missions for Project tasks development, hosted by LACE Members (47 p.m as R&D missions).

LACE also financed app 70 p.m for networking &trainings, participation at workshops and working days for of LACE scientists and LACE Management Group.

LACE plan for DA ( Project 2008-2010 + long term research) :Operative data Pre-processingLocal implementation on 3DVAR+CANARI systemsOperative validations + use of national dataLong –term research topics

Working group:LACE Area Leader for DA, LACE Data ManagerResponsible center: HMS, Budapest local NWP team: minimum 2 person 100% for DA

DA Code implementation: No common system scripting system , but Brick approach learning thru implementation
