Dear Dr. Miguel Tremblay, I would first like to thank you very much for your very prompt reply. I was very glad to read that you think that incorporating MM5 and/or WRF in METRo might be beneficiary, regarding frost forecasting.
For the time being, I am going through the physical model of METRo, examining the code and trying to figure out where MM5 and/or WRF output could be implemented. I have yet to reach to some usefull conclusions, nevertheless when I have something more specific in my mind I will definitely let you know. I would be deeply grateful to you, should you be able to provide me with a raw flow diagram of the METRo model. I have already read the paper of Clevier and Delage (Journal of Applied Meteorology, vol.40, pp.2026-2037) and studied how the model is set up but I would like to get some more details on the way METRo gets its input and what are the steps (from the technical point of view) before a forecast can be made. In addition to that, I do believe that it would be extremelly helpful if you were in position to give me some informaton regarding the GEM model that provides meteorological input for METRo. To be more specific, it would be useful to know the spatial resolution of the GEM forecasts, as well as a comprehensive list of the models output data. I really hope that I dont ask too much from you. I would like to thank you in advance for your prompt reply and I firmly believe that our collaboration will lead to beneficiary results, concerning METRo and frost forecasting.
