Documentation of CMC's GEM
- Documenting changes to CMC products (incl. GEM, Canadian NWP model). Latest update Dec. 2016
- Specifications of RDPS as of Sept. 2016
- GEM (linked web pages, not dated; many links broken)
- Improvements to Global Deterministic Prediction System (GDPS) and related changes to the Regional Deterministic Prediction System (RDPS) (7 Feb. 2014)
- HRDPS limited-area model (LAM) forecast grids from the non hydrostatic version of GEM model with 2.5 km horizontal grid spacing
- HRDPS (non-hydrostatic, high resolution deterministic prediction system)
- General intro to GEM ( (Cote et al., not dated)
- Model physics (Stephane Belair; quite old; many typographic errors in eqns., notably corruption of ∂ symbol)
- CMC's implementation (2004) of the ISBA land surface scheme (Interactions Soil-Biosphere-Atmosphere)
- CMC's RPN (Recherche en Prevision Numerique) physics package (Mailhot et al., 1998; precedes GEM but some elements of GEM's physics package can be traced back to this earlier era)
CCCMa's AGCMs, OGCMs and Coupled AOGCMs
- Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis
Overview of NCEP models (and links to info on each)
- WRF-ARW (1.2 MB pdf file)
- WRF-NMM dynamics (as used in NAM/Wrf)
