GRIB Model

GDPS - Global Deterministic Prediction System


Provider:Environment Canada
Model scope:Global
Update frequency:every 12 hours
Resolution:0.15°, 9.0nm, 16.7km
Model duration:37 forecasts starting at 0 hr, ending at 10 days
Parameters:pressure, wind, rain, cloud, temperature, vorticity, 250 mb, 500 mb
GRIB model date:Sat Dec 7 00:00:00 2024 UTC
Download date:Sat Dec 7 05:06:49 2024 UTC
Download delay:5hr 06min

Note: the Download delay is the amount of time required for the GRIB model to compute its forecast and then for the LuckGrib cluster to download the data and make it available. The LuckGrib delay is generally less than 10 minutes, the remainder of the delay is the model compute time.

Description

The Environment Canada Global Deterministic Prediction System is a global model and provides a good comparison to the GFS model.

Generally, when two or more weather models are in agreement, you can feel more assured that their forecasts are reliable. When weather models disagree, there may be instability in the weather system and the results may be less reliable.

Some sites call this model the GEM model, some call it GDPS. Both names refer to the same model.

… The GEM’s operational model, known as the global deterministic prediction system (GDPS), is currently operational for the global data assimilation cycle and medium-range forecasting …
