PINUTS

Some utilities have been developed around ALADIN and are now mainly available through PINUTS (Pinuts Is New Useful Tools Software ):
a portable version of EGGX (new and old) library with conversions tool (CONEO)
a tool to design an ALADIN domain from lat*lon coordinates (DOMOLALO) , another to design domain from scratch (MAKDO), one to make subdomains (SUBDO)
a portable version of some tools modules and programs developped by Jean-Daniel (former ECTOplasme, FRODO, EDitField, PSEUDO...)
a makefile tool to compile these tools;
CHAGAL : plots ALADIN files using NCAR software

FRODO : to read header and contents of an ALADIN or FULLPOS file (1999) (PINUTS)

April 1999

FRODO program was developped by Jean-Daniel Gril. It reads files in FA format and extracts header datas from them, with ASCII output format. These datas contain geographicals parameters, dates, levels ..., and the list of fields inside the file. Link to FRODO (...)

CHAGAL : to plot ALADIN or FULLPOS horizontal fields (1999) (PINUTS)

April 1999

CHAGAL is a versatile graphical program originally designed for plotting the contour maps and wind fields based on results of operational implementation of ALADIN model. Anyhow it may be used to satisfy any need of a graphical representation of a model output provided the user preparers his own (...)
