Project description
BALTEX, a sub-programme for GEWEX, aims at the determination of water
and energy cycles over the Baltic Sea drainage area. As an important contribution
to BALTEX, the meteorological services of the Member States Denmark, Finland
and Sweden carry out high resolution, delayed mode data assimilation of
existing and special observations over this area, using the newly developed
HIRLAM 3D-Var data assimilation system. Organizing the work as an ECMWF
Special Project has been highly beneficial for practical and efficient
execution of the task. We therefore ask for a continuation of our Special
Project, with computing resources corresponding to 20% of the estimated
total, the rest to be allocated to the national resource quotas of the
three Member States, in equal shares in the course of production. A permanent
disk quota of 100 Mbytes for storing software is requested, in addition
to 50 Gbytes of data storage capacity, needed to comfortably accommodate
the contents of one DLT cassette.
For more details, please refer to the latest progress
report. A Final report is not yet available.
