ARPEGE CLIMATE version 4.4

Through a collaboration established with Météo-France, a first climate projection using the French model ARPÈGE version 4.4 was produced at Ouranos. The ARPEGE outputs have been interpolated on the CRCM Polar Stereographic grid.

More details on the ARPEGE model can be found on the user guide (in French).

Please note that on average, the delay of processing for a ARPEGE data request is 0.2 days.

The ARPEGE time series data has been generated and supplied by Ouranos' Climate Simulations Team, with a special acknowledgement addressed to Météo France who has provided the ARPEGE_Climat_Ouranos v4.4 and its scientific support to make possible the simulations..
