Near future plans
- PHYSICS
  - SURFEX developments (inclusion of forest tile).
  - Inclusion of Lake scheme in SURFEX.
  - Development of EDMF
  - Impact of boundaries and initial conditions on AROME.
  - Impact of deep convection parameterization on resolved deep convection.
  - Radiation scheme intercomparison and optimization.
- DATA ASSIMILATION (according to work plan)
  - Construction and testing of a common 3DVAR system based on ALADIN.
  - Setup of a mesoscale surface DAsystem (soil, water surface, snow etc.).
