ALADIN-2 website
ALADIN-2 is the acronym for AROME Limited Area Decentralized International Network. It is the convergence between the international ALADIN and AROME projects. The ALADIN name is kept with a different acronym (since November 1990, ALADIN is used for Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développment INternational). The "-2" is added in slang to avoid confusion.
