About GEM
The Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model is the current operational model used at Environment Canada. GEM orginated from the Regional Finite Element (RFE) model developed by Recherche en Prévision Numérique (RPN) and the Canadian Meteorological Center (CMC) in the 1980s. This model was substantially revised in the early 2000s and was launched as GEM. The model provided here has been obtained from here .

About Us
While the source code for GEM is readily available on the internet, it has remained a challenge to download and deploy the model for a number of years. This project has made the deployment of the model straightforward on a variety of hardware using several compilers and parallel libraries. The project facilitates the visualization of the model output and puts the source code under the cmake build system. In short, the project offers an end-to-end weather prediction solution that has for long eluded many of us.
