Global Deterministic Prediction System

The Global Deterministic Prediction System (GDPS) is a coupled atmosphere (GEM), ocean and sea ice (NEMO-CICE) deterministic numerical weather prediction model. Forecasts are carried out twice a day for 10 days lead time. The geographical coverage is global at 15 km horizontal resolution. Data is available on some thirty vertical levels and interpolated on a global latitude-longitude uniform grid with 0.15 degree horizontal resolution. Variables availability in number and time frequency is a function of forecast lead time.
