CANARI est the acronym of :
– Code d’Analyse Nécessaire àArpege pour ses Rejets et son Initialisation
– Code for the Analysis Necessary for Arpege for its Rejects and its Initiamization

CANARI is a software which performs an optimum interpolation analysis for any variable of the meteorological forecast model ARPEGE/ALADIN.

In November 2002, during the 1st ALADIN maintenance and phasing workshop in Budapest, Cornel Soci presented (see the attached .pdf file): "Canari : code description - algorithms and data flow" :

• Basic hypothesis
• Observations and Selection of observations
• Quality Control of the observations
• Data flow
• Initialisation and control
• Calling tree
