General Fortran optimizations guide, Dec 2019

Patricia — 2020-08-19T09:11:58Z

This document from Ryad El Khatib is the support of a training course of Fortran High Performance omputing for scientists and developers. The purpose of this course is to let developers be aware of the performance traps when they code a piece of scientific software in Fortran.
The expectation is that the developers will be able to write fairly-well-performing code at once, without the need of a computer specialist to recode and optimize the software sometimes later to ease the handover to (…)

EPYGRAM tool (February 2020)

Patricia — 2020-02-10T15:19:00Z

The epygram library package is a set of Python classes and functions designed to handle meteorological fields in Python, as well as interfacing their storage in various usual (or not) data formats.
The purpose of the library is to provide user-friendly interfaces to formats of data resources as FA, LFI, LFA (Meteo-France historical formats), GRIB/1-2 (...) and handy classes for manipulating meteorological fields, whatever their geometry is.
Therefore, it has been conceived basically for (…)

Turbulence diagnostic (Eddy Dissipation Rate), ARPEGE cy43, January 2020

Patricia — 2020-01-10T10:47:46Z

A new global turbulence forecast product for aeronautics
Aeronautical turbulence is a major risk for this sector with dozen of millions of dollars for companies, and more than 7000 hours of sick leaves. Turbulence suffered by planes has multiple sources such as CAT (Clear Air Turbulence) which is particularly dangerous because non detectable. MÃ©tÃ©o-France has developed a new diagnostic of turbulence through a common project between DSM/AERO and DR/CNRM. This new diagnostic is a (…)
