1.3 Summary of features

FullPOS is a post-processing package containing many features. The following is just a small list of the main available features :

• Multiple fields from the dynamics, the physics, the cumulated fluxes or the instantaneous fluxes
• post-processing available on any pressure level, height (above output orography) level, potential vorticity level, potential temperature level or model level
• Multiple latitudes X longitudes output subdomains, or one gaussian grid with any definition, or one grid of kind 'ALADIN', with any definition
• Multiple possible optimisations of the memory or the CPU time used, through specific I/O schemes, vectorisation depth, distribution and various other segmentations.
• Possible spectral treatment for all the fields of a given post-processing level type
• Customization of the names of the post-processed fields
• Support for computing a few other fields without diving deeply into the code of FullPOS
• Ability to perform post-processing in-line (ie : during the model integration) or off-line (out of the model integration)
• Ability to make ARPEGE or ALADIN history files, starting from a file ARPEGE or a file ALADIN (processes "927", "E927" and "EE927")
