The GEM model is currently operational for the global data assimilation cycle and medium range forecasting, the regional data assimilation spin up cycle and short range forecasting. Furthermore mesoscale forecasts are produced overnight and are available to the operational forecasters. A growing number of Meteorology meteorological applications are now either based on or use the GEM model. The GEM model has been developed to meet the operational weather forecasting needs of Canada for the coming years. These presently include short range regional forecasting, medium range global forecasting, and data assimilation. In the future they will include nowcasting at the meso scales, and dynamic extended range forecasting on monthly to seasonal timescales. The essence of the approach is to develop a single highly efficient model that can be reconfigured at run time to either run globally at uniform resolution with possibly degraded resolution in the other hemisphere , or to run with variable resolution over a global domain such that high resolution is focused over an area of interest.
