Thanks to Alain Joly who invented first the "French POS" concept which became FullPOS , and to Jean-François Geleyn who has adopted my point of view about this internal new post-processing. Credit and thanks to Jean Pailleux who convinced ECMWF to let METEO-FRANCE implement this software in ARPEGE/IFS ; to Mats Hamrud for his advice on vertical scannings, his help for long distance debugging and the re-usable code he has written on I/O scheme, spectral transforms and horizontal scanning ; to Vincent Cassé for these long talks about interpolations and how the so-called "semi-lagrangian buffers" work ; to Jean-Marc Audoin and Eric Escalière who helped me to write a part of the code ; to Patrick Le Moigne and Jean-Daniel Gril who spent time to let me try to understand the geometry of ALADIN. Congratulations and tanks to Gabor Radnoti who managed in the huge task to implement FullPOS inside ALADIN ; to Jaouad Boutahar and Mehdi Elabed for their debugging in FullPOS . Many thanks to Jean-Noël Thépaut who believed in the use of FullPOS for the incremental variational analysis. Thank to you all who will use FullPOS and be happy of it (...and maybe find out residual bugs ?)
Special thanks to the workstation "Nout", to Edit_file and the mouse on NOS-Ve with which the code is typed, and to the user friendly Crisp editor under UNIX environment, with which this manual has been typed.
