14. ECAM 29/09/2009 Diapositive 14 V. Pourret - C. Périard Conclusion and perspectives Different types of downscaling chain to face different types of demands and studies Implemented on 2 different types of computer ( PC cluster and the NEC) to deal with the computing time constrains. Armillaire - the multi-support multi-mission GUI - to manage both the hardware and software part Axes of improvement : CANOPY : 1D surface boundary layer, included in surfex (surface Model) Optimise Arome on a PC cluster or (big) PC computer Develop an externalised system based on Arome on a perfomant PC running outside of Météo-France
