Abstract
In May 1985 a mesoscale model (LAM50) was made operational at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. The horizontal mesh is 50 km and 24 hour integrations are made three times a day. Lateral boundary values are applied by prediction from a more coarse mesh routine called LAM150. The prediction model used is essentially the same in both systems, and described by Grønäs and Hellevik (1982) and in a catalog of existing modules of limited area NWP systems, WMO (1984). The assimilation systems are described by Grønäs and Midtbø (1986), and the physical parameterization, which includes radiation, by Nordeng (1986). The integration areas are shown in Figure 1.
