HIRLAM

HIRLAM

HIRLAM, the High Resolution Limited Area Model, is a Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) forecast system developed by the international HIRLAM programme.

Consortium

HIRLAM programme is a cooperation between following European meteorological institutes:
* Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI)(Denmark)
* Estonian Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (EMHI) (Estonia)
* Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) (Finland)
* Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) (Iceland)
* Met Éireann (ME) (Ireland)
* Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) (The Netherlands)
* Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET), formerly INM (Spain)
* Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) (Sweden) In addition, Météo-France (France) is a research partner in the international HIRLAM cooperation.

The Project

The aim of the HIRLAM programme is to develop and maintain a numerical short-range weather forecasting system for operational use by the participating institutes. The programme has started in 1985. Since 1 January 2006 the programme is in its new phase, HIRLAM-A. The HIRLAM forecast system is now used in routine weather forecasting by DMI, FMI, IMS, KNMI, NMI, INM, and SMHI. The HIRLAM programme is controlled by the HIRLAM council, which consists of the directors of the participating institutes. The programme is managed by the management group consisting of:
* Jeanette Onvlee, KNMI, Programme Manager
* Xiaohua Yang, DMI, Project Leader for System and Applications
* Nils Gustafsson, SMHI, Deputy Programme Manager and Project Leader for Data Assimilation and Use of Observations
* Mariano Hortal, AEMET, Project Leader for Model Dynamics
* Trond Iversen, NMI, Project Leader for Predictability
* Sander Tijm, KNMI, Project Leader for Model Physics

The management group is advised by a Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee.
