The NWP Project is an effort to facilitate and enable operational global/regional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) across the globe based on the state-of-the-art Canadian operational NWP model.

Vision

  • Facilitate access and GEM model runs among students, forecasters, and researchers.
  • Enable model usage as a teaching/educational aid in developing countries.
  • Promote the model among researchers with limited institutional computing infrastructure.
  • The Linux platform based model package will remain in the open source.
  • Produce high resolution (order 10-15 km) land-area weather forecasts globally through community effort

GEMDM 1.0.1 Release

GEMDM 1.0.1 is now available for download. Instructions to build GEMDM 1.0.1 is available here.

GEMDM Components

The model depends on several external libraries for input/output, mathematical computation and parallel implementation. The 1.0.1 release uses a CMake build system (version 2.82 or greater). Please pick a compiler, a MPI and a LAPACK library from the table. Please note any chosen compiler goes with one MPI and one LAPACK library.

COMPILER

MPI

LAPACK

Intel Compiler (version 11.1/076 or 12) MPICH2 INTEL
gfortran /gcc (4.2 - 4.6.1) OPENMPI ATLAS
Portland Graphics (version 7.2.4 and greater)

GEMDM Usage

The model can be used to forecast weather using Global Uniform (GU), Global Variable (GV) and Limited area Uniform (LU) horizontal resolution. The model may also be used in ensemble forecasting as well as climate simulations as seen here .

From here you can find out more about the Global/Regional NWP project, download the model, browse documentation, sign up for mail lists, file bug reports and feature requests, and a variety of other things. Questions? Contact Badrinath Nagarajan or Ruben Santos
